Far Breton
Dessert cake from Brittany, France
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Far Breton (also Breton far; Breton: Farz forn) is a traditional cake or dessert from the Brittany region in France.[1] Its base is similar in composition to a clafoutis batter: a flan-style eggs-and-milk custard with flour added. Prunes or raisins are common additions.[2][3] Numerous recipes available at popular websites suggest soaking the dried fruits in alcohol; although this is not traditional practice.
Far Breton as served in Brittany is often cooked to a much more "burned" appearance than online recipes indicate; the top of the custard appears nearly blackened rather than golden-brown.
