Scattered walnuts beneath the plums adds a lovely crunch to this tart.
A chef friend suggested adding walnuts to my plum tart. A layer of them scattered under the plums soaks up some of the juices and adds a lovely crunch.
Serves: 8
INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup very finely chopped walnuts
8–12 mixed plums, halved or quartered, seeds removed
1 cup blueberries
icing sugar, to dust
runny custard, cream and/or ice-cream, to serve
Pastry:
180 g unsalted butter
1 2/3 cup cups plain flour
pinch of salt
50 ml water mixed with a small squeeze of lemon juice
METHOD
1. To make the pastry, take the butter out of the fridge and let it soften a little, then cut into 2 cm cubes.
2. Place the butter into a mixing bowl and add the flour and a pinch of salt. Use your fingertips to rub in, until evenly combined.
3. Add the water mixture a little at a time and mix with your fingers, bringing the floury flakes together into a ball. You may not need all the water, or you may need a drop more. Press the ball into a flat disc, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove from the fridge and leave to soften for
about 20 minutes. Read More…
