Ingredients:

Directions:

  2. Add the butter in pieces and rub in gently using only the fingertips.
  3. Sprinkle over 2 TBS of cold water and stir to moisten the mix.
  4. With floured fingers, draw the ingredients together to form a dough.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured work wurface and knead gently for a moment.
  6. Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes.
  7. Toast the skinned hazelnuts, then whiz in a blender to make fine crumbs.
  8. Cut the plums in half, along the natural line, and twist the halves in opposite directions to separate.
  9. Remove the stones and slice the plums into a mixing bowl.
  10. Combine the sugar, cornflour and a seasoning of nutmeg.
  11. Sprinkle over the fruits and toss to mix.
  12. Roll the pastry to a circle large enough to line a 9 inch butter pie plate with 2 inch to spare all around.
  13. Trim the pastry if uneven.
  14. Transfer the pastry to the pie plate, allowing the excess to overhang the edge.
  15. Spread the ground hazelnuts over the tart base, the nuts will absorb the excess fruit juices and keep the base crust dry.

  17. Fold the pastry edges inwards around the rim, leaving the centre of the tart exposed.
  18. Heat oven to 400*F.
