Rustic Ginger Plum Tart
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional bench flour
- Pinch salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, chunked
- 1/2 cup ice water, plus more as needed
- 1 1/2 pounds red plums, pitted and sliced
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 tablespoon butter, cubed
- Milk, for brushing
- Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling
- For the dough: Combine the flour, salt and butter in a large bowl.
- Using a bench scraper or pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until the butter is pea-sized.
- Slowly add the ice water, folding it into the flour until a dough comes together, being mindful not to overwork it.
- (If the dough is too dry, add another tablespoon of ice water at a time.)
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and form it into a disk.
- Wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough out into a 1/8-inch-thick circle.
- Then roll it up onto the rolling pin and gently lay it out on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- For the filling: In the center of the rolled out dough, add the plums and sprinkle them with the brown sugar, ginger, vanilla, lemon juice, salt, flour and butter.
- Fold the edges of the dough over to create a rough border; it doesnt have to be perfect, just good enough to form a wall.
- Brush the edges with milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake until the filling is bubbling and thickened, and the crust is golden brown, 45 minutes.
- Cool slightly before serving.
