Plum Tartlets

Plum Tartlets

Ingredients:

     150g Plain flour
     1/2 tsp Baking powder
     1/4 tsp Cardamon
     1/8 tsp Salt
     125g Unsalted butter, at room temperature
     1 large Egg (70g)
     40g Caster sugar
     1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
     grated lemon zest from 1 lemon
     4-5 Fresh small plums, pitted and sliced
     2 tbsp Brown sugar
     icing sugar for dusting

• Preheat the oven to 170 degree C. Lightly butter 6 cups of a muffin try and line each base with a circle of baking paper.
• Sift flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl, set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 mins. Add the egg yolk, sugar, vanilla extract and lemon zest and continue to beat until the mixture is light in colour. In a separate mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
• Reduce the speed to low and add sifted flour mixture in thirds, mixing just until incorporated; careful not to overmix.
• Divide the dough evenly among muffin cups. Place plum slices in each cup, lightly pressing the slices into the dough with your fingers. Sprinkle the tops with brown sugar.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the tartlets look set and the tops are bubbly and caramelized to a golden brown. Dust with icing sugar and serve.
• These are best served warm, but they can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
