A classic of Breton cuisine, far aux pruneaux is a hearty pastry.

Soak the prunes in milk to soften them.

Preheat oven to 220°C (Thermostat 7).

Sift the flour and mix with the sugar and salt, then make a well and add the eggs.

Whisk in the milk gradually.

Whisk until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.

Add the rum.

Grease the baking dish and place the washed prunes in the bottom.

Pour the batter over the prunes and bake in a hot oven for 20 min at 220°C (gas mark 7).

After 20 min, lower the temperature to 180°C (th6) and bake for 30 min.

Remove from oven and cool in the tin.
