French Far Breton

Far Breton is a traditional cake or dessert from the Brittany region in France.

2 cups whole milk

3 large eggs

3/4 cup sugar

5 tablespoons salted butter

3/4 cup all purpose flour

2-3 cups pitted prunes

2 tablespoons rum

Preheat the oven to 430 F (220 C). Mix the eggs with the sugar and add the sifted flour. Stir in the rum. In a microwave, melt the butter and add it to the mixture. Salted butter works better - otherwise you can add a pinch of salt. Slowly pour the milk and keep stirring until smooth. Place the pitted prunes in a ceramic pan and pour the mixture over them. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 400 F. Bake for another 30 minutes until the filling is firm and the top rises and gets browned. Let the cake cool completely before serving.

 Bon appétit!
