Swiss Plum Tart

A delightful classic Swiss plum tart with a tender shortcrust pastry base and a creamy custard topping, perfect for a seasonal treat.

Steps

1
To prepare the dough, combine flour, 50g of sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Rub with your fingertips until crumbly. Add cold water and knead briefly to form a smooth ball. Flatten slightly, wrap in cling film, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2
Wash the plums thoroughly. Halve each plum and carefully remove the pits.
3
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle. Line a 24 cm (9-inch) tart pan with the dough, pressing it gently into the edges. Prick the base of the dough several times with a fork. Arrange the halved plums, cut-side up, neatly on top of the dough.
4
For the custard topping (Guss), whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, the remaining 50g of sugar, and ground cinnamon in a bowl until well combined.
5
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the plums in the tart shell. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the custard is set. Let the tart cool slightly before slicing and serving.
