Cooking Steps:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish generously with butter.

Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly. Gradually add the flour mixture, ensuring a smooth batter.

Step 4: Pour the whole milk into the batter slowly, continuing to whisk until well combined.

Step 5: Introduce the rum to the batter, mixing until the consistency is uniform.

Step 6: Drain the rum-soaked prunes and arrange them evenly at the bottom of the greased baking dish.

Step 7: Pour the batter over the prunes, ensuring an even distribution.

Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until the top develops a golden brown hue, and the center sets.
