Ingredients

Servings

• 1 pound Plums
• 2 teaspoon Sherry
• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
• ¹⁄₂ cup Granulated Sugar
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• 1 stick Butter
• 2 large Egg Yolks
• 2 tablespoon Cold Water
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Almond Extract
• ¹⁄₄ cup Sliced Almonds
• to taste for dusting Powdered Sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, cold water, and almond extract. Gradually add this to the flour mixture, stirring until the dough comes together.
4. Gather the dough into a ball and flatten it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle slightly larger than the tart pan. Transfer the dough to the tart pan and press it into the bottom and sides. Trim off any excess dough.
6. Arrange the plum slices in a circular pattern on top of the dough. Sprinkle the sherry over the plums.
7. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the plums.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the plums are tender.
9. Allow the tart to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
