Last Monday I was told I sucked at work recently, it was all as pleasant as a constipation. I have some making up to do, so I baked a tart for the Chief this evening, plus 2 small tartlets for us, to round up a nice meal.

It’s the same recipe as the one with apples from Hugh a few posts ago, but I threw some lovely plums in instead of apples, I love the textures. I gave it to Florek, started typing and was just about to ask him what he thought about it, I looked at his plate and it was empty. Guess he liked it then. 🙂

For a tart and 2 tartlets I used 150 g of soft butter, 125 g caster sugar, creamed it together, added 2 eggs, some vanilla extract, 75 g of self raising flour and as much ground almonds. Threw the sliced plums on top, some flaked almonds and baked off for 45 minutes in 180 degrees. Finished off with icing sugar. Let’s hope it will meet Chief’s approval tomorrow.

Ps. Those 2 last dishes and positive feedback on FB give new meaning to the words “comfort food”. Feeling a wee bit better now.
