- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 2-3 tablespoons ice water
- 6-8 ripe plums, pitted and sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of ground hazelnuts, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Pulse to mix.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

- Arrange the plum slices in a concentric circle on top of the dough, slightly overlapping them.
- Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the plums are tender.
- Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Drizzle the tart with 2 tablespoons of honey and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh mint.
- Slice and serve the tart warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
