Steps

1 hour 15 minutes

1

Add in the plain flour, sugar and butter cubes (cut the butter into small cubes). Mix all together until the mixture turns coarse like breadcrumbs. Add an egg or if not using replace it with 2 to 3 tablespoon of ice cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time to bind the dough. Do not knead. Just gather into a ball. And do not use much water, otherwise the pastry dough would shrink. Cover with a foil or a cling and place in the refrigerator for 25-30 minutes.
2

After the stipulated time, take it out of the refrigerator. Roll into a disc which is not exactly round and the edges being uneven too as basically it's a pastry dough. And that's perfectly okay. Place the disc gently into the pie pan next. Trim the edges of the pastry to fit the sides of the pan. Make sure you press your pie dough on the edges too.
3

In the meantime prepare the cherry and plum filling. Add all pitted cherries and sliced plums to a bowl along with both granulated and powdered sugars. Mix well and add them to the pie pan. Top the tart with these little beauties.
4

Bake on 160° for 40-45 minutes in a preheated oven.
5

Slice and enjoy. Sprinkle with some more of the powdered sugar on top just before serving. It's a great one for important occasions or family reunions and get togethers. Or practically on any day. Even the weekends and special holidays. Yum! Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
