Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Fill a kettle with water and keep it on the boil.
Melt 2/3 of the sugar over medium-low heat until it turns a golden caramel colour, about 10 minutes. Avoid stirring the mixture, and watch it closely to prevent burning.
Once the caramel is a good colour, immediately remove it from the heat and quickly pour it into the ramekin. If it starts to harden, put it back on the heat until it softens.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg and remaining sugar until creamy. Add the milk and vanilla and stir until well combined.
Place the custard into a ramekin, pouring on top of the caramel. Cover with foil.
Fill the pan with boiling water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 40-60 minutes, or until it jiggles when you lightly shake the ramekin. The flan is cooked when it has an internal temperature of 175°F (79°C) in the centre.
Take the ramekins out of the water-filled baking dish and set aside to cool to room temperature. Then place in the fridge covered with foil and chill for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight).
To serve, take a butter knife and run it around the inside of the ramekin. Place a plate on top of the ramekin and invert it, then remove the ramekin to reveal the flan. Serve immediately.
