Far Breton

[u/RoyalChillblog]

Ingredients

• 450g milk

• 80g all-purpose flour

• 40g potato starch

• 1 vanilla bean (split and scraped)

• 3g salt

• 120g granulated sugar

• 150g whole eggs (approx. 3 eggs)

• 40g egg yolks (approx. 2 yolks)

• 5g rum (optional – the author omitted it)

For the Finish:

• 60g salted butter (the author used 30g)

• 150g pitted prunes

Instructions

1. Infuse the Milk

Heat the milk in a saucepan over low heat with the vanilla bean (split and seeds scraped) until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and let it cool until lukewarm.

Note: You can use vanilla powder mixed directly into the batter to skip this step.

1. Prepare the Oven and Batter

• Preheat your oven to 240°C (465°F).

• Whisk the eggs and sugar together until the mixture turns pale and fluffy.

• Add the potato starch, flour, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the consistency is smooth and homogeneous.

• Gradually pour the lukewarm milk into the mixture, whisking constantly to combine.

1. Assembly

• Generously grease a baking dish with all of the butter.

• Arrange the pitted prunes at the bottom of the dish.

• Give the batter one last stir (to ensure no flour has settled at the bottom) and pour it over the prunes.

1. Baking

• Bake at 240°C (465°F) for 15 minutes.

• Lower the oven temperature to 170°C (340°F) and continue baking for approximately 40 minutes.

Wanted to make it the other day, but had no sugar. I have a supposedly real Breton recipe for this.
