Leche Flan and Puto

Leche Flan Google tells me that in other regions/countries this is otherwise known as "creme caramel" or "caramel custard". In the Philippines, this is beloved Leche Flan.  Served warm, it pairs nicely with old rice (for real), or sliced ripe mango. Served cold, its very nice with warm coffee. To each family and home there may be different combos.   But I got to say,  in whatever temperature and whatever pairing, it's really good. So this one is for my books -- for my kids, as they have also acquired the sweet tooth for this yummy dessert. Also, with leche flan, I always end up with a good amount of egg whites. So, we make puto (rice cake)! Each time, the day after a leche flan feast in our home, there will always be puto up for grabs :).
