Time 2h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
7 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
3 ½ tablespoons water
1 large egg yolk
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
½ cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 cup ground almonds
8 large Plums, raw

Steps:

  • Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Rub in cold butter cubes with your fingers until mixture looks like bread crumbs. Add water and egg yolk; knead into a ball. Wrap pastry in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine softened butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and mix until well combined. Add ground almonds and beat frangipane until well combined.
  • Roll out chilled pastry dough and transfer to a 9-inch fluted tart tin; trim edges.
  • Spread frangipane over the pastry base. Arrange plums on top in a circular pattern.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown and the plums are soft, about 45 minutes.
