August month is almost coming to an end and I’m really running out of time, busy making mooncakes lol! But after seeing the Plum Tartlets post in Zoe’s blog, I told myself that I too must make this Plum Tartlet. I love the buttery crumbly base and the caramelized brown sugar did wonders to the sour plums that I bought. This recipe yields 6 small tartlets and they can be ready in about 30 minutes. Really perfect for an afternoon tea.

Author: Ann Low
Serves: makes 6
Ingredients
- 150g Plain flour
- ½ tsp Baking powder
- ⅛ tsp Salt
- 125g Unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 40g Caster sugar
- ½ 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
Instructions
- 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.
