Description

It's better to use a dish with high sides to prevent the filling from overflowing when it boils.

Ingredients

Plums - 14.1 oz
Brown Sugar - 1.8 oz
Wheat Flour - 5.3 oz
Salt - a pinch
Baking Powder - 1 teaspoon
Butter - 1.4 oz
Sugar - 1.8 oz
Egg white - 1 piece
Milk - 3 tablespoons
Almond Candy Coating - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Wash the plums, cut them in half, remove the pit, and then cut each half into two pieces, resulting in 4 wedges from each plum. Place the plums in a saucepan, add 50 grams of brown sugar, and simmer for 7–10 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

Mix the flour, baking powder, 50 grams of white sugar, and salt. Add the diced cold butter and rub it into the flour until crumbly. Whisk together the egg and milk with a fork, then add to the flour mixture and mix until smooth. The dough will be quite sticky.

Step 3

Grease the baking dish well with butter, layer the plums, and evenly spread the dough on top to cover the filling: take a small piece of dough, roll it into a ball, slightly flatten it, and place it on top. Sprinkle with sugar and almond slivers.

Step 4

Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for about 30 minutes, until the dough is golden brown. The finished dessert can be served with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
