Instructions
Place four 3/4-cup custard cups in 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Stir sugar and 1 tablespoon water in heavy small skillet over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Boil without stirring until syrup is deep amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of skillet with pastry brush dipped into water and swirling skillet, about 8 minutes. Immediately pour syrup into custard cups, dividing equally.
Whisk milk and cinnamon in small saucepan to blend; bring to simmer. Cover and let cool 15 minutes.
Whisk eggs to blend in medium bowl. Gradually whisk in cinnamon milk, then sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Divide among caramel-lined custard cups.
Pour enough hot water into baking pan to come halfway up sides of cups.
Bake custards until set in center, about 55 minutes. Cool in water in pan.
Remove custard cups from water; cover and refrigerate overnight.
Run small knife around custards to loosen. To unmold each, place small plate atop custard; firmly holding plate and custard cup together, invert and shake gently, allowing custard and caramel to settle onto plate.

Recommended wine: Tempranillo, Albarino, Grenache
Spanish works really well with Tempranillo, Albarino, and Grenache. When pairing wine with Spanish dishes, why not follow the rule 'what grows together goes together'? We recommend albariño for white wine and garnachan and tempranillo for red. You could try Matchbook Tempranillo. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 15 dollars per bottle.
Matchbook Tempranillo
The 2013 Matchbook Tempranillo unfurls with Old World characteristics from two standout Spanish clones. The Ribera del Duero and Tinta de Toro vines grown on our estate contribute the familiar varietal flavors, while the traditional Rioja blending grape Graciano adds tannin and structure. Pronounced aromatics of ripe raspberry and rich plum lead to enticing flavors of earth, spicy cardamom and dark fruit. Smooth and soft on the palate, this seductive red has a bright finish that begs for another sip of this finely structured wine. Pair this Dunnigan Hills Tempranillo with a traditional Paella dish infused with saffron, mussels, shrimp and chorizo.
