Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour sugar and water into an 8-inch baking dish over medium heat on the stovetop.
Step 2
Swirl the dish without stirring until sugar dissolves and caramel turns deep amber, about 4 minutes.
Step 3
Remove from heat. Let caramel cool for 30 seconds, then swirl to coat the bottom and lower sides evenly.
Step 4
Whisk condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and flour in a bowl until smooth with no lumps.
Step 5
Pour custard mixture over caramel. Set the baking dish in a larger roasting pan, fill with 1 inch of hot water.
Step 6
Bake 13–15 minutes until the custard is set at the edges but the center still jiggle slightly.
Step 7
Cool completely, then refrigerate at least 2 hours. Run a knife around the edge and invert onto a plate.
