For the pastry:
1 egg
200g butter
400g plain flour
150g caster sugar
vanilla extract
For the fruits:
900g plums
100g catser sugar
Melt the butter on low heat. Add the sugar, half the flour and the egg. Add a few drops of vanilla. Mix well and add the rest of the flour, mix with your fingertips so it looks like breadcrumbs
In an oiled tin, pour more than half of the mix and press it to the bottom and up the sides. Ensure that there is no gap.
Wash and dry the plums, cut them in half and stone them. Put them on the pastry case, cut side down. Sprinkle with the remaining 100g sugar, then crumble the rest of the pastry on top
