Method

Roll the dough to the size of a small frying pan on a floured surface.

Plate the tart and serve with a dollop of vanilla cream.

Whisk the double cream with icing sugar and vanilla seeds.

Add egg yolk, orange zest, and mint, then blend with water until the dough forms.

Fry for 3-4 minutes until the sugar and butter melt into a gooey topping.

Blend the flour, icing sugar, and 55g of butter in a food processor until crumbly.

Arrange plum slices, 25g of butter pieces, and caster sugar on the pastry.

Fry the pastry in a pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden.
