Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325F. In a small saucepan over medium high heat, combine sugar and water. Mix well. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until sugar turns a caramel color. Remove from heat.
Step 2
Divide caramel among eight 1/2 cup ramekins, tilting to coat side with caramel. In a large bowl, combine eggs, pumpkin, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, ginger and allspice. Mix well.
Step 3
Divide pumpkin mixture among ramekins and smooth tops. Place ramekins in a large baking pan on center rack of oven. Carefully pour enough boiling water into baking pan to come halfway up side of ramekins.
Step 4
Bake flans until set and a knife inserted in the center comes out almost clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove ramekins from baking pans and cool completely. Unmold each one onto a dessert plate. Serve immediately.
Step 5
Variation: Substitute 1 3/4 cups mashed sweet potatoes for the pumpkin.
