This is considered to be THE German fruit tart. Traditionally this is baked on yeast pastry, but the sweet German pastry is also a perfect base. It must be made with cold butter and the dough chilled before using, otherwise there is a tendency to add additional flour, which is a mistake. The crust rises up between the fruits and the delicious juices are absorbed into the pastry.

SERVES 6 -8 , 1 tart (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup sugar
2 lbs blue Italian plums
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions

1
In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
2
Cut in cold butter and and work with the fingers for the pie crust until the butter is the size of peas.
3
Stir in sugar and the beaten egg.
4
Stir with a fork until mixture gathers together. Chill 15 minutes in the freezer.
5
Using a piece of wax paper to prevent the dough from sticking to the hands, press onto the bottom and sides of a greased 13x19 inch baking dish.
6
Wash, dry, halve lengthwise, and stone the plums. Stand them on edge in rows very close together on the pastry.
7
Bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes. Cool, then cover with sifted powdered sugar.
