Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water. Cook over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until the sugar melts and turns a deep amber color, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 2
Immediately pour the hot caramel into a 9-inch round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
Step 3
In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and 4 eggs. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Pour the custard mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish. Cover with foil.
Step 5
Place the dish in a larger roasting pan and add hot water to come halfway up the sides. Bake at 350°F (175°C) until the custard is set but still jiggles slightly in the center, about 45-50 minutes.
Step 6
Remove from the water bath and let cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 7
To serve, run a knife around the edge, invert onto a plate, and dust with 1 tbsp powdered sugar.
