Plum Tart

1. First you need to knead the dough for the tart base. In a deep bowl, pour flour and sugar. We also spread the butter here, having previously cut it into pieces.

2. We grind the ingredients with our hands into fine crumbs. This can also be done with a food processor, it will be faster. If you work with your hands, then you need to act quickly, because the oil melts from the warmth of your hands.

3. Add the egg yolk and two teaspoons of cold water to the resulting crumb. Knead the dough. It sticks slightly to your hands, but you should not add more flour.

4. Dust the work surface with flour, roll out the dough on it into a layer. Carefully wrap it in plastic wrap, send it to the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

5. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. We take the dough out of the refrigerator, put it in a mold with a low side. Press the edges of the dough to the sides of the mold. Excess dough is cut off with a knife.

6. Put the form with the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Then cover the dough with parchment, pour an even layer of peas or beans. We send it to the oven to bake for 10 minutes. The beans will not allow the base to swell and deform.

7. After 10 minutes, we remove the parchment with the load and continue to bake for another 10 minutes. We reduce the temperature to 180 degrees.

8. Spread the softened butter in a bowl, pour sugar here. Whisk until fluffy. Then we break a chicken egg and an additional egg yolk into this mass. Beat with a mixer.

9. Add both types of flour (plain and almond) to the resulting mass, mix. We spread the mass into the prepared sand base.

10. My plums, remove the bones. Cut each half of the plum into slices. It turns out that the plum is cut into quarters. We place the plums on the surface of the tart. We continue to bake for 30 minutes.

We cool the tart in the form, since it is quite fragile when hot. Then we transfer the cooled delicacy to a dish. You can decorate the tart with powdered sugar or leave it as it is. You can serve it on the table with whipped cream.
