Still in a plum mood, today’s recipe is the combination of taste, lightness, easy going tart 🙂

We were still in Cannes, in this beautiful pool kitchen, we are lucky enough to have a beautiful Indian summer so we take advantage of it, thankful, before heading inside to prepare Halloween, spiced latte, butternut squash gratin and soups…. and I can’t wait, but for now, let’s be present, enjoy the moment and appreciate those cute tartlets.

I am coming back from India, remember ? 🙂 Namaste ! xx

Ingredients, for 8 square/rectangle

– 1 filo pastry sheet
– 1 egg beaten
– 50g of ground almonds
– 25g of caster sugar
– 4 small plums halved, pitted and finely sliced
– 1 tsp of icing sugar
– Butter for greasing

Preheat the oven at 180°C.

Melt some butter in a pan. meanwhile cut the filo sheet in 8 equal rectangles.

With a brush, grease each layer of each rectangle with the melted butter. It takes a little while (actually it’s what takes most of the time in this recipe but it worth it).

Keep aside 1 tbsp of you egg beaten for glazing and the rest, mix it with the almond powder and sugar to obtain a paste.

Spread the paste on each rectangle, wash and slice your plums et place the equilvalent of around half a plum per rectangle.

Glaze the edges of yout tartlets with the egg kept on the side and a brush and bake for 25min.

Dust with icing sugar while still warm and just enjoy !!!
