Roasting the garlic mellows its raw taste, giving it a flavor similar to
chestnuts. The custard is easy to make, so don't reserve it just for
company meals.
Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Lightly spray six 1/2 cup (118 ml)
custard cups with cooking spray. Set aside.
Peel and squeese roasted garlaic cloves into a food processor or blender.
Puree garlic with milk until smooth. Blend in remaining ingredients;
process until smooth.
Divide garlic mixture amoung prepared custard cups. Place filled custard
cups in a large baking pan. Add enough water to pan to come halfway up
side of cups. Bake until flans are gently set, about 35 minutes. Allow to
cool slightly while custard cups remain in water.
Run a thin-bladed knife around outer edge of each flan and unmold onto
serving plates. Serve warm. Flans can be made ahead and refrigerated for
up to a day in a sealed container. Reheat in a 350F/180C oven for 5
minutes.

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?"
