1 Egg |
1 Egg Yolk |
3 Tbsp. Sweetened Condensed Milk |
1 1/2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract |
2 1/4 Cups Flour |
1 Cup Cornstarch |
1/2 Cup Sugar |
1 1/4 Cups Very Cold Unsalted Butter |
2 1/4 Lb. Assorted plums, pitted and cut into 1/4 inch-thick wedges |
Honey (Optional) |
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 15 x 10 inch baking pan with parchment paper; coat with cooking spray and set aside.
In a small bowl whisk together the egg, yolk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla. In a large bowl stir together the flour, cornstarch, sugar and 1/2 tsp. salt. Using the largest holes on a box grater, grate butter into flour mixture. Use your fingertips to massage butter into flour mixture until it resembles cornmeal. Pour egg mixture over flour mixture and stir to moisten. Gently knead until dough comes together. Transfer dough to prepared pan, pat evenly into bottom and up sides. Prick dough all over with a fork. Arrange plums in rows over dough in pan, overlapping as necessary. Bake about 40 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown and fruit is tender and bubbly, cool in pan on wire rack. If desired, drizzle with some honey before serving. Makes 24 servings.
