Step by Step Method
Step 1
To make pastry, process flours, sugar, almond meal and butter in a food processor until fine crumbs form and then add egg and process until combined and then transfer to a lightly floured bench and shape into a flat disc and then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate the mix for 1 hour, or until firm.
Step 2
Roll out pastry between two sheets of baking paper to form a 30cm circle and then lift paper onto an oven tray and discard top layer of paper.
Step 3
To make filling, cut plums in half and discard stones and then cut into wedges and place in a bowl with sugar, half the almonds and combined sifted cornflour and cinnamon and mix well.
Step 4
Spoon filling into the centre of pastry, leaving about a 4cm border and sprinkle with remaining almonds and then using paper as a guide, fold pastry over filling to partially enclose and then brush pastry with milk and sprinkle with extra sugar.
Step 5
Cook in a hot oven (200C) for 15 minutes and then reduce oven to moderate (180C) and cook for a further 10 minutes, or until pastry is golden.
Step 6
Serve warm tart with custard.
