The real traditional far Breton recipe, a French dessert from Brittany a bit similar to clafoutis but with prunes. Slightly sweet, both dense and smooth, this cake is the perfect dessert of snack.
Start by heating the milk and preheating the oven to 210°C / 410°F.
Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and sugar until the mixture whitens a bit.
Add the flour and combine well.
Stirring constantly, slowly pour in the hot milk until the mixture is smooth.
Grease with butter an ovenproof dish. Pour in the preparation, then add the prunes here and there.
Bake first for 10 minutes at 210°C/410°F, then for 45 minutes at 180°C/350°F.
Notes
Optional: Before serving, sprinkle with icing sugar. The recipe is without alcohol but you may add a bit of Cognac (or Brandy if you don't have any)
Far Breton can be made up to three days in advance and refrigerated. Take it out of the fridge to come to room temperature before serving.
