I believe there is an Alison Holst for Moulded caramel custard you can cook in a water bath in the oven. Does anyone have this they could share please?

this is a good recipe and really easy:

For the caramel:
1 cup sugar
1 / 2 cup water

For the flan:
4 cups hot milk
1 / 2 cup sugar
6 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 180 ° C
To prepare the caramel, place sugar and water in a medium saucepan and simmer, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer 5 to 10 minutes until caramel is made turning its color turn from golden brown to dark brown. Remove from heat.Pour hot caramel into molds and spread throughout the base.

To prepare the custard, place milk and sugar in a saucepan and warm – do not let the milk boil - over low heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves. In a bowl beat eggs and vanilla for 2 minutes, pour into hot milk and stir. Strain the mixture into a container. Divide the mixture into the coated ramekins / molds and place them in a baking dish. Fill half of it with hot water and bake in bain - marie/ water bath for about 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in center of the custard comes out clean. Allow to cool, then refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
