Authentic Far Breton Prune Flan Recipe

Ingredients

• 9 ounces pitted prunes
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.63 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 4 eggs eggs
• 3 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons rum

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a shallow 2-quart baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. In a saucepan, combine the prunes with enough water to cover them. Bring to a simmer and cook until the prunes are tender yet still maintain their shape, approximately 10 minutes. Drain the prunes thoroughly and arrange them evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, white sugar, vanilla sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until everything is well incorporated. Stir in the rum. Carefully pour the batter evenly over the prunes in the baking dish.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for the initial 10 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) and continue baking until the filling has set, risen slightly, and the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve the Far Breton warm or at room temperature for the best taste.
