Plum tarte tatin

By Abigail Donnelly

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

120 g sugar
8 ripe plums, halved and stoned
2 T butter
400 g Woolworths frozen all-butter puff pastry, thawed
cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the sugar in a 22 cm ovenproof pan over a low heat and cook until light golden in colour. Do not stir.

2. Place the plums in the pan, cut side up. Unroll the pastry, prick with a fork and drape over the plums, tucking in any overlapping pastry.

3. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed up. Cool for 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a serving plate. Serve with cream or ice cream.
