Plum tart - a shortbread pie with plums

Ingredients:

• 1 disc (200 g) chilled shortcrust pie crust
• 1/4 cup fig jam
• 450 g plums, pitted and cut into 0.6 cm slices.
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup raw cane sugar
• Ice cream, for serving

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Let the dough soften at room temperature for 10 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the tart on the parchment paper. Spread fig jam over the tart, leaving a 5cm border. Arrange the plums on top of the jam. Fold the edge of the tart inward, creasing as needed; leave the center of the tart open. Press the dough lightly to secure it.
2. In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water; brush the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until the crust is cooked through and golden brown, about 35 minutes. Serve the tart warm with ice cream, if desired.
