Plum tart - house beautiful

1 tart

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Recipe Flaky Butter Pastry
Flour for rolling
1 pounds Ripe plums
1 teaspoon Kirsch, framboise, or vanilla extract
7 tablespoons Sugar
2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Unsalted butter

Directions

Roll out the dough as directed for the desired tart size. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet and refrigerate while you prepare the plums.

Slice the plums in half through the stem and remove the pits. Slice each half into ¼-inch slices. You should have about 3 C of fruit.

Place the plums in a bowl and toss with the kirsch and 6 T of sugar.

Set mixture aside.

In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of flour with the remaining sugar.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and sprinkle the flour-sugar mixture over the dough, leaving a border uncovered as directed above.

Arrange the plum slices evenly over the flour-sugar mixture. Fold the rim of dough over the plums, crimping the seams lightly with moistened fingers. Shave the butter on top of the plums.

Bake the tart in a preheated 400'F oven as directed above.
