  16. Add enough boiling water to the pan to come halfway up the outsides of the ramekins.
  17. Bake flans for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in their centers comes out clean.
  18. Remove ramekins from water and let cool on a wire rack.
  19. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.
  20. (The flans will keep, covered, in the refrigeratorfor up to 2 days.).
