Plum Tart

Uncategorized 1 Minute

As unforgettable Gordon Ramsay quotes go, “this is absolute dogshit.”

I used the Ina Garten recipe for Plum Tart. My only modifications included adding 1/4 tsp of cinnamon and nutmeg, and I accidentally overmixed the batter. The dough should have been more crumbly, but it was more of a cookie dough.

Tips

  • I could have also added more cinnamon and nutmeg (1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp cinnamon)
  • Use a juicier and sweeter fruit like peaches OR I could poach the plums in sugar in order to sweeten it and draw out the juices
  • Make a crunchier and crumblier topping, maybe with oatmeal. This means that Ina’s crust would only be used for the bottom, and a new crumble recipe should be used for the topping.
  • This wasn’t awful. It’s definitely a work in progress and I intend to right my wrongs.

  • Yesterday I made a great plum tart! I used a utensil to turn the dough into a crumbly mix, and that helped tremendously in spreading the mix onto the pan. I also added butter shavings onto the plums, because I notice that it adds more liquid to the plums. I did pack the plums and did not make too much dough.
  • Tips:
      • Add a bit more flour to the dough if I am using more plums. I could alternatively keep the flour measurement the same and use less plums.
      Sprinkle chopped almonds or walnuts onto the top for a crunchier topping
      Add butter shavings to the plums to make them juicier
