Original Recipe Yield 1 - 9 inch square pan
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 egg
  • 2 1/2 cups pitted and sliced plums
  •  
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a large bowl, mix flour, 1 tablespoon sugar and baking powder in a bowl. Cut in butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in 2 tablespoons whipping cream and 1 egg. Press in bottom of ungreased 9-inch square pan and arrange plums over the top.
