Recipe Yield: 1 9-inch tart
Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup ground walnuts
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon rind
- 1 cup flour
- 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 lbs plums
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground walnuts
Instructions:
-
Cream the butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
-
Add the egg and flavorings: To the butter mixture, add the egg, ground walnuts, cinnamon, and fresh lemon rind. Mix well until fully incorporated.
-
Prepare the dough: Sift the flour and baking powder together. Add the sifted ingredients to the egg mixture, and mix until a smooth dough forms.
-
Chill the dough: Optionally, chill the dough for several hours or until firm. Note: If living in a warm climate, you may skip this step.
-
Prepare the pan: Butter and flour a 9-inch cake pan to prevent sticking.
-
Roll out the dough: Divide the dough in half. Roll out one half into a circle to fit the bottom and sides of the prepared pan.
-
Prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, mix the plums with flour, sugar, and ground walnuts until well coated. Pour the plum mixture into the pastry-lined pan.
-
Create the lattice top: Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into 1/2-inch strips. Lay the strips over the top of the tart in a lattice pattern. Trim any excess dough from the edges.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled tart in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
This Plum Walnut Tart is a true delight, perfect for any occasion, whether you’re entertaining guests or simply treating yourself to a delicious dessert. Enjoy the sweet aroma and irresistible taste of homemade goodness with every bite!
