Today we're making an egg flan with no added sugar, the kind you want to savour spoonful by spoonful, with a velvety texture and all the wonderful aroma of vanilla. We sweeten it with date paste and bake it in a water bath in the oven: a simple recipe to bring back the homemade desserts we love so much.
