For the dough
 300 Flour
 150 Softened butter
 1 pinch Fine salt
 5 Milk
 2 Sugar
 1 Egg yolk
For the almond cream
 100 Ground almond
 90 Softened butter
 100 Sugar
 2 Whole eggs
For the decoration
 8 Yellow plum
 ½ Sliced almond
 Cane sugar
Directions
1

Weigh your flour in a mixing bowl, add your butter in small pieces, then mix with your fingertips (or with a mixer if you have one). Add the salt, sugar, milk, and egg yolk, then continue to mix everything. If your dough is too sticky or too wet, add a little more flour as needed. When the dough forms a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, flattening it slightly beforehand. Let your dough rest in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes.

2

Prepare your almond cream by mixing the almond flour, sugar, eggs, and softened butter.

3

Remove your dough from the refrigerator and roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper to a thickness of about 0.3 cm. Place your dough in your greased mold, then poke it with a fork.

4

Spread your almond cream evenly over the dough. Cut your plums in half, then each half into 4 - 5 pieces to get small chunks of plum. Sprinkle with sliced almonds, then lightly dust with cane sugar.

5

To finish, bake your tart at 160°C for 40 minutes. If you feel it needs a little longer, extend the cooking time by about ten minutes. Remove your tart from the oven and let it rest in the open air for 30 minutes.
