Name: Plum Pie
Total time: 2 h 10 min
Yield: 1
Ingredients: 250 grams Pastry flour; 125 Butter; 2 tablespoons Sugar; 1 pinch Salt; 750 grams Plums; 1 Lemon; 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon; 3 tablespoons Sugar; 2 tablespoons Cornstarch; Sugar (to sprinkle)

Preparation steps

Mix the flour with the pieces of butter, sugar and salt. Knead together, then add 3 tablespoons of cold water and work to form a smooth dough. Wrap in foil and rest for 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Rinse the plums, cut in half, remove the pits and sprinkle with lemon juice. Place in a bowl and mix with the sugar, cinnamon and cornstarch. Preheat the oven to 200°C (approximately 400°F).

Divide the dough into a slightly larger and a smaller portion and roll flat.

Place the larger portion of the flattened dough in pie pan, forming a high crust; pierce several times with a fork. Pour in the plum mixture and cover loosely with the second sheet of dough. Press the edges together and press down firmly. Cut a hole in the middle of the top crust. Bake for 45 minutes, then sprinkle the hot pie with sugar and serve warm.
