Ingredients
2 egg yolks
2 eggs
100 g sugar
100 g flour
500 ml milk
60 g butter
50 g rum
10 dried prunes, pitted and quartered
1 pinch salt

Preparation

Whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until light and fluffy, then mix in the flour.

Heat the milk, salt, and butter in a saucepan to about 60°C. Pour over the egg mixture and whisk until smooth. Add the rum, strain the mixture, and chill for at least 4 hours.

Evenly distribute the prune pieces among well-buttered shallow ramekins and pour the batter over them.

Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (top and bottom heat) for 13–15 minutes. Let cool slightly, then turn out onto plates and serve at room temperature.
