Step 1
Prepare the listed ingredients. Choose “Vengerka” plums—they are less sour in taste and hold their shape perfectly.

Step 2
Crack the chicken eggs into the bowl of a food processor, or into a deep bowl if you plan to beat them with a mixer. Add granulated sugar and salt.

Step 3
Beat all the contents of the bowl at the highest speed of the appliance for about 4–5 minutes, turning the eggs into a fluffy foam. Add the sifted wheat flour and gently fold it into the egg mixture with a whisk or a silicone spatula, but do not use the appliance so as not to release the air bubbles from the batter.

Step 4
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Rinse the plums and cut them in half, removing the pits. Cut the fruit halves into small cubes and add them to the batter. If you cut them too coarsely, the pieces will sink to the bottom while baking the dessert.

Step 6
Bake the pie until golden brown and turn off the heat. If possible, invert the pan with the pie upside down as you remove it from the oven, and let it cool in this position by placing it on a board so the pie does not sink.
