100g/4oz plain flour

pinch of salt
75g/3oz butter
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon chilled water
450g/1lb plums, halved, stoned
and diced

• Sift the flour into a blender or food processor, add the ground cinnamon,
salt, butter and egg yolk. Process for 30 seconds or until evenly
combined. Add the chilled water and process for a further 30 seconds.
Knead together lightly, and roll out to a circle about 25.5cm/10in in
diameter. Put on a baking tray and chill for 10–15 minutes.

• To finish, melt the jam in a small saucepan with 2 tablespoons water,
bring to the boil and bubble for 1 minute. Brush or spoon over the
warm tart to glaze.
