- 1 sheet rolled puff pastry Note 1
- 1 lb plums Note 2
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar Note 3
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional
- a few sprinklings of freshly ground black pepper optional
Prepare plums: Remove the stones and cut the plums into thin wedges. Toss with the sugar (and cinnamon if using) in a bowl.
Unroll the sheet of pastry on the working surface, keeping its wrapping paper underneath. If it's not wrapped in parchment paper, lightly flour the working surface before unrolling.
Cut the dough into squares. I had 15 mini tarts; if you like larger ones, cut the dough into larger squares or rectangles. Place the pieces on two baking trays lined with baking paper.
Top: Arrange the plums on top, leaving a small border around the edges. If desired, sprinkle lightly with freshly ground black pepper.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the plums are soft and slightly sticky and the pastry edges are golden and puffed.
Let rest on the trays for five minutes. Then, transfer carefully to wire racks. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
- From the supermarket's refrigerator section, about 275 g/ 9.7 oz and about 25 cm/ 9.8 inches long. Frozen puff pastry can be used instead. Defrost it according to the package instructions and roll it, if necessary.
- Red/yellow plums or Italian plums. Other fruit can be used instead.
- White sugar is fine as well.
- Large plum tart: unroll the pastry but don't cut it. Top with the sugared plums. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the plums are softer and the edges of the pastry are puffed and golden. Let rest on the tray for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.
