Flan or crème caramel (in Catalan called flam) is a dessert originating from South-Western Europe, but that has become one of the most popular desserts in the world. We often serve it with whipped cream.

Ancient Greeks and Romans already made food by mixing eggs and milk, but it was in the Middle Ages that flan became very popular, particularly during Lent (the anual period where Catholics are not allowed to eat meat). Back then, flans could be sweet (with fruit, cheese and honey) or savoury (with fish and vegetables), but the sweet version, inverted and with a caramel sauce, became a dessert in the Iberian peninsula and France.

A savoury flan, heir of the Medieval legacy, is still eaten in Terres de l’Ebre (the south of Catalonia) and Maestrat (in the north of the Valencian Country). It’s a flan soup (sopa de flam) made with chicken broth and sugar-less flan.

But most people only know the sweet version for dessert🍮

We don't eat now the way we did then. That's for sure.

My paternal grandmother had a big sweet tooth. True for her entire family. She made candy and was really good at it. Fudge, penuche, divinity, caramels. O man. My mother and father both were candy fans and all of my siblings had their own temptations as far as sweets go.

When we lived in Kane, my Great Aunt Helen used to take us to "The Nut Shop" on Saturdays after she got off work. The Nut Shop was a confectionary shop. You could pick candies by the piece and get them in little white bags. What a heavenly place, I can still smell the smell that wafted past when you opened the door.

Gramma Bowman's Caramels

2 cups of sugar 1 cup of butter or margarine 3/4 cup dark Karo syrup 1/2 cup of milk

When the mixture boils add 1 cup of cream [canned milk] a little at a time, so as not to stop the boiling.  Cook until hard ball in water.

Stir constantly as it becomes thick and burns easily.  Cut in squares and keep in refrigerator

Gramma Bowman's Penuche

2 Tbsp butter 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 1/2 cups white sugar pinch of salt 3 Tbsp of light corn syrup 1 cup of evaporated milk

Melt the butter and stir in sugar and salt and corn syrup.  Add cream and mix well until boiling.  Cook until the mixture forms a medium ball.  Add nuts if desired.  Let cool and beat like fudge.

Beating it like fudge demands a strong arm and some wicked determination so beat until it looses it's gloss and dulls and beings to harden.  

YUM

This is for fudge, the best ever.

Gramma Bowman's Fudge

Bring to a boil in a large heavy pan: 1 cup minus 1 TBSP. rich milk Remove from heat and stir in until dissolved: 2 Cups sugar 1/8 tsp. salt 2 oz. grated chocolate 2 TBSP. light corn syrup

Bring to a boil and cook covered 2 to 3 minutes until the steam washes down from the sides of the pan any crystals which may have formed.

Uncover, reduce heat and cook without stirring to soft-ball stage, 238 degrees.  When nearing 238 degrees, there is a find overall bubbling with simultaneously, a coarse pattern, as though the fine bubbled areas were being pulled down for quilting into the coarser ones.

Remove from the heat, add 2-3 TBSPS butter without stirring.

Cool the candy to 110 degrees.  You may hasten this process by placing the hop pan in a larger pan of cold water until bottom of pan has cooled.  Beat fudge partially.  Add 1/2 teaspoons vanilla.  Then beat until it begins to lose it's sheen and thickens.  Pour into oiled pan.  Mark into squares.

he observed :

I had forgotten that this was where Caramel's wonderful sign came from. A much more forceful version of "If you can't say somethign nice, don't say anything at all"!

I swear, your version of Ponyville must be just a wonder on Nightmare Night! It seems like it would be such a blast! I'm so glad I wrote a tale about it back then. ;)

Yes indeed! You see how much poorer my Ponyville would be if it wasn't for Sawnax? He inspired Grakkan to make the sign that Caramel approved of absolutely and helped to put up! A good/bad villain is much like the wolves in Yellowstone. Besides the intended predation control of the game herds, they improved the stream banks and more than doubled the trout population!

As for your writing, I hope that I in some way inspired it. The best thing that a writer can have happen is to inspire others to write as well, especially when they write as well as you do!
