Princess Blogonoke: "Tita Ding Ding's Lecheplan

Required items:
8 egg yolks
1 can evaporated milk
1 can condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla
a strainer
a double boiler or large steamer (with metal containers small enough to fit inside the steamer)
1/2 cup caramelized sugar syrup or 1/2 cup dark Karo syrup

Caramelize the sugar first, because that will take a while. Here's a recipe that contains instructions for caramelizing sugar (because I haven't been successful in my attempts to attain sweet golden perfection.)

Place the syrup in a layer in the bottom of the containers or the top half of the double boiler. If the double boiler is the kind with holes in the bottom, place tin foil around the inside so the syrup doesn't leak out. Place the containers or double boiler in the refrigerator to cool.

Place ingredients in a bowl and mix with a whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture into the containers or the top part of the double boiler through a strainer to get all the little eggy bits out.

Cover the containers or double boiler with tin foil. Place the containers in their respective places, cover, and steam for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Let cool, then flip the molds unto a plate. Be careful, because the syrup might spill all over the counter. If it does, start licking the counter, because it's really good. Grab forks and enjoy the rich, eggy goodness with impunity.

So that's it, Really simple, huh? I usually save this recipe for special occasions, because if I made it all the time, I'd be fat and full of cholesterol.
