This Brittany Prune Far is a classic French dessert with a flan batter. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature and is a classic to serve for kids but also grown-ups. but it can be made with other dried fruits, like raisins.
First, here is the list of the different ingredients you will need to make the Brittany Prune Far and that serves 6
- 20-25 pitted prunes
- 4 Tbsp rum (optional)
- 5 Tbsp flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 Tbsp sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 liter whole milk
- 2 Tbsp butter for the dish
Now, here are the few steps you will need to follow to bake the Brittany Prune Far with a 15 minutes preparation time and a 45 minutes baking time
First, preheat your oven to 170 °C (350 °F).
Start by Mixing in a bowl the flour, salt, sugar and eggs. Fold in the moderately warm milk with an electric mixer until reaching for a smooth batter. Add the prunes that you have let macerated in rum if you like.
Generously butter all inside of a dish. Pour the batter in your ovenproof plate and bake at mid-height of your oven for about 45 minutes to one hour. Serve your Brittany Prune Far, warm or at room temperature, in its baking dish.
My point of vue: The Brittany Prune Far tastes better lukewarm than cold. Eventually, as it is difficult to unmold, you may present it in its baking dish, so make sure you choose a pretty one !
