Ingredients
Crust:
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter very cold and cubed
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons ice water
Topping:
- 1 ½ pounds plums pitted and quartered or sliced (use regular plums or Italian ones)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter very cold and cubed
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- ½ teaspoon cardamom powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the crust:
- In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, butter, and flour.
- Blend these ingredients using a fork or an electric mixer until they resemble coarse crumbs.
- Add ice water to the mixture, then gather everything together to form a ball of dough.
- Roll out the dough onto your lined baking sheet, aiming for a 13-inch round.
- Fold about an inch of the dough's outer edge onto itself to create a fluted rim.
Topping:
- Arrange the quartered plums evenly on the pastry.
- In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, including the spices.
- Blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then sprinkle this over the plums.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the crumbs on top have browned.
- Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
