Flan:
1 quart skim milk
5 large eggs
5 teaspoons Equal® for Recipes or 16 packets Equal® sweetener or 2/3 cup Equal® Spoonful™

Cooking Directions:
- For Flan: Heat milk just to simmering in medium saucepan. Beat eggs until foamy in medium bowl; gradually whisk milk into eggs. Stir in Equal® and vanilla.
