About this dish
Far Breton is a traditional cake or dessert from the Brittany region in France. Its base is similar in composition to a clafoutis batter. Common additions include prunes or raisins. Numerous recipes available at popular websites suggest soaking the dried fruits in alcohol; however, this is not traditional practice. Far Breton as served in Brittany is often cooked to a much more "burnt" appearance than online recipes indicate; the top of the custard appears nearly blackened rather than golden-brown.
