Ingredients for Far Breton

Before we start making our masterpiece, let’s gather all the ingredients you’ll need:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs

  • Butter for greasing the pan

Instructions to Make Far Breton

Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your own Far Breton:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with some butter to keep that cake from sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk them together until well mixed.
  3. Crack in the eggs and whisk them into the dry ingredients until well blended.
  4. Slowly pour in the milk and vanilla extract, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter. It should be thin, almost like pancake batter.
  5. Now, fold in the prunes or your choice of dried fruit until they’re evenly distributed in the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and pop it in the oven. Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Once it’s done, take it out and let it cool for a bit. You can serve it warm or at room temperature, just like they do in Brittany!
