What is "FLAN"? is it like pudding? where does it come from? can I buy it at the supermarket?!
Answers: Depends on what country you're in. In the UK, a flan is a tart, (a type of pie with various fillings and an open top that is not covered with pastry). In the US, Spain, and Japan, flan is a crème caramel.
Its more like a custard. You may have the ingredients to make it, pretty simple here is a recipe for it. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/v...

Its an egg custard. You can probably find a powder mix in a well stocked supermarket.
A 'Flan' may either be a form of tart (think custard and You are on the right track) or the pastry that You pour the custard or a fruit mixture into. What were You told to get?
I think it is a custard.U can look for it on the supermarket.
