Directions

1
Pour the flour onto a work surface, press a depression in the middle. Add 1 egg yolk, 60 g sugar and salt. Cut butter into pieces and spread them on the edge of the flour. Quickly work all ingredients into a short pastry. Form into a ball and cover and chill for about 1 hour
2
In the meantime wash, stone and halve the plums. Mix almonds, breadcrumbs, 30 g sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a bowl. Roll out the marzipan thinly on a lightly floured work surface. Using a pastry wheel, cut into thin, long strips about 1 cm wide

Roll out the dough thinly on a floured work surface, line a well-greased tart mould with it, press the edge slightly. Prick the dough base several times with a fork. Sprinkle with sugar mixture. Spread plums on top. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Place marzipan strips in a grid pattern on top. Mix remaining egg yolk and cream. Spread marzipan strips with egg yolk. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven 180 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 30 minutes. Let the tart cool down a little, remove from the tin and cut into pieces. Mix the sugar crystals and the remaining cinnamon and sprinkle over it. Whipped cream tastes good with it
