Ingredients
- 6 lb 4 oz dried pitted prunes extra large
- 1 lb 2 oz blanched whole almonds
- 34 liq oz milk
- 102 oz all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 14 oz whole eggs 8 large
- 2 oz granulated sugar
- 2 liq oz rum
- 1 cup vegetable oil or needed amount
- 1 lb finely ground dark chocolate or needed amount
- 1 cup powdered sugar or needed amount
Instructions
- For the prune filling:
- Make small incisions in the prunes and remove the pits.
- Place one almond in the cavity previously occupied by the pit.
- For the milk batter:
- Mix together the milk, flour, and salt to form a paste.
- Add the eggs, sugar, and rum and beat on high speed until the batter is well blended.
- Set aside to rest and thicken slightly for 30 minutes in a warm place.
- For the assembly and topping:
- Fill a deep-fat fryer with the vegetable oil and heat to 320°F (160°C).
- Dip prunes one at a time into the milk batter so they're coated all over. Allow excess batter to drip off.
- Drop coated prunes into the hot oil and turn them over after 2 - 3 minutes so they become golden brown all over and puffy.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place on absorbent paper to drain.
- Combine the chocolate and confectioners' sugar and sprinkle over warm prunes to serve.
