People making the dessert flan dates all the way back to ancient Roman times. It was a custard made from mixing cream and eggs to make a custard. The Romans made types of flan that we might find interesting, like eel flan. Other types of flan was sweet flan flavored with honey. The word flan is from Latin, “flado”, meaning a flat cake. Which then became “flaon” in Old French. In Spain, Flan is a custard made with caramelized sugar, which gives it a sweet taste. While the Moors made flan flavored with citrus and almond flavoring. When Christopher Columbus found the Americas, not only did he find riches in gold, but also in flavor!
