Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 500 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Dark rum
- 150 grams Prunes (pitted)
- 10 grams Unsalted butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round or square baking dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt to evenly combine the dry ingredients.
Crack the eggs into the bowl with the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth and no lumps remain.
Gradually pour in the milk while continuously whisking to form a thin, smooth batter.
Stir in the vanilla extract and dark rum, mixing well to combine.
Spread the pitted prunes evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
Pour the batter over the prunes, ensuring they stay evenly distributed.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the Far Breton is golden brown and set in the center. A knife inserted into the middle should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally dust with powdered sugar before serving.
