Flan-o-rama

Pour the sugar into an iron skillet and begin melting it on low/medium heat. In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk the milk, egg and vanilla. As soon as the sugar caramelizes, pour it to coat the bottom of 6 ramekins. Pour the egg mixture on top of the caramelized sugar. Place the ramekins in a 9×13 pan. Pour boiling water into the pan until it reaches half way up the ramekins. Bake in a 350F oven for 35-45 minutes until the tops are slightly set. Remove from the water bath and cool. Invert on dessert plates to serve.
