Ingredients

• 150 grams unsalted butter
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 6 plums
• 100 grams brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the flour and granulated sugar.

Step 3

Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Rub together using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Add the egg yolk and cold water to the mixture and mix until it forms a dough.

Step 5

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Step 6

While the dough is chilling, wash the plums, remove the pits, and slice them into thin wedges.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, combine the plum slices with brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Toss to coat the plums evenly.

Step 8

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Transfer the dough to the pan, pressing it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough.

Step 9

Arrange the coated plum slices over the tart base in a circular pattern.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the plums are tender.

Step 11

Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
