1/4 cup iced water

1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar

Method

1.In a food processor, pulse 1 1/2 cups of flour with butter until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. With motor running, add water. Pocess until dough comes together to form a ball. Place on a floured board and bring dough together using hands. Flatten to form a disc and wrap in plastic. Chill 50 minutes.

2.Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.

3.Roll pastry between two sheets of baking paper, to approximately 30cm round. Place on prepared tray. Combine 1/3 cup of sugar, almond meal and remaining flour and sprinkle over pastry, leaving a 5cm border. Top with flaked almonds.

4.Arrange plums over almonds. Sprinkle with remaining sugar, adding more if plums are tart. Fold pastry edges over plums. Bake 30 minutes. Brush plums with a little warmed jam. Bake further 5 minutes, until pastry is golden. Cool. Cut and serve with thick cream.
