Either use your own pastry case or a shop-bought one: this should be 7 inches in size and ready-cooked. I tend to buy fresh pastry and line my pie dish and bake blind until cooked. The ready-cooked ones are often very sweet but tasty.
Melt the margarine and sugar, then stir in the flour. Whisk in the hot milk and stir as it thickens and reaches boiling point.
Keep stirring all the time while you are waiting for the mixture to boil, then cook for 2-3 minutes stirring all the time.
Remove from the heat, and add the syrup, then whisk the mixture.
Spread the filling into the flan case and serve hot or place in the fridge to cool & serve with whipped cream or custard, or anything you want. I like it on its own, but I do put grated chocolate on for my grand children.
