Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with butter, ensuring it is evenly coated.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Crack the eggs into the bowl and whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
Stir in the vanilla extract and dark rum to incorporate the flavors.
Scatter the pitted prunes evenly across the greased baking dish.
Pour the batter gently over the prunes, ensuring they remain evenly distributed across the dish.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the far breton is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow the far breton to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally dusted with powdered sugar.
