I first came across this traditional French dessert on a cruising blog and thought it would fit in well with the ingredients I usually have onboard. As with most recipes, it can be adapted to what you have and what you like.
- ¾ cup of flour
- ½ cup of sugar
- 2 cups of milk (I’ve heard it works well with powdered milk)
- 2 eggs
- ½ tsp vanilla
- ~1 cup pitted prunes, soaked in brandy or other spirit (or use any dry/canned fruit of your choice)
Put the sugar in a deep bowl.
Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well (whisk)
Add the milk and whisk.
Add the flour and whisk.
Add the fruit and pour into a well buttered baking dish (I used a 27 x 18cm pan that fits my galley oven).
Bake for ~45 minutes or until a knife comes out dry.
