Far breton Spune: far breh-TAWN
Far Breton este un tort dens, cu textură de cremă, tradițional din Bretania, în nord-vestul Franței. Acest desert reconfortant conține prune zemoase coapte într-un aluat gros, similar cu o flan, făcut cu ingrediente simple de cămară. Consumată pe tot parcursul anului, dar mai ales populară în lunile de iarnă și la reuniunile de familie, oferă un echilibru perfect între textura cremoasă și aroma dulce-acrișoară a prunelor. Simplitatea sa rustică și mestecătura satisfăcătoare o fac un clasic regional iubit care evidențiază ingredientele umile ale bucătăriei fermelor bretone.

Mod de preparare
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously butter a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan or ceramic baking dish.
Place the pitted prunes in a small bowl and cover with warm water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to plump, then drain well.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together vigorously until pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Sift in the flour and salt, then whisk until completely smooth with no lumps.
Gradually pour in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract while whisking constantly until the batter is thin and silky, similar to a crepe batter.
Arrange the drained prunes evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan. Slowly pour the batter over the prunes.
Bake for 45-55 minutes until the top is deep golden brown, the edges are set and slightly pulling away from the pan, and the center still has a gentle wobble.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. The cake will firm up as it cools.
Dust with powdered sugar just before serving if desired, then slice into wedges.
Variante regionale
Some cooks add a splash of rum or apple brandy to the batter for extra depth. A less common modern twist replaces half the prunes with raisins or dried apricots, though traditionalists stick strictly to prunes.
Note ale bucătarului
- For the most authentic flavor and texture, use high-quality unpitted prunes and remove the pits yourself; they tend to be juicier.
- Do not overbake; the center should still jiggle slightly when removed from the oven as it continues to set while cooling.
- Serve at room temperature for the best creamy yet dense consistency that defines this Breton classic.
Se servește cu
Strong coffee, cider, or a glass of sweet Breton cider. It needs no accompaniment but pairs nicely with lightly whipped cream.
