In Northern Catalonia it is called <em>pa d\u2019ou<\/em>, \u201cegg bread\u201d.<\/p><p>The first written recipes for flan date from the mid-18th century. According to the food historian Jaume F\u00e0brega, it was originally made with bread, and was closer to a pudding. The classic Catalan recipe, as recorded by the chef Josep Lladonosa, uses milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon and lemon peel, cooked in a bain-marie.<\/p><p>Over time it became the dessert of choice in restaurants serving popular, traditional cooking. It even left a saying in Catalan: \u201cestar fet un flam\u201d, to be like a flan, means to be shaking with nerves.<\/p><h2>Also on the menu<\/h2><p>Before dessert, try the <a href=\"https:\/\/canlluis.com\/en\/roast-chicken-cannelloni\/\">roast chicken cannelloni<\/a> (\u20ac15.00).
