Shortcrust Pie with Fresh Plums
Description
Baking is prepared simply and quickly. With this recipe you will get a pie weighing 1 kg. For the filling it is best to use plums whose pits come out easily. Preparation: Mix butter, sugar and eggs in a bowl with a wooden spatula until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Add the flour and knead the dough by hand. From 2/3 of the dough shape a round or rectangular flatbread 5‑6 mm thick. Place the flatbread on a dry baking sheet or pan. Brush the edges of the flatbread with egg and form a rim. Cut the plums in half and remove the pits. Lay the plums on the dough with the cut side up. Mix cinnamon with sugar and sprinkle over the plums. From the remaining dough roll out a sheet 2‑3 mm thick, cut it into thin strips and arrange them as a lattice over the plums. Brush the lattice with egg, place the pie in the oven and bake at 210‑230 °C for 30‑35 minutes. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
