Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Step 2
Use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar in a bowl until pale and creamy. Add the egg and beat until well combined. Add the almond meal, flour and almond essence, if using, and stir to combine.
Step 3
Place the pastry on a clean work surface. Cut into 4 squares. Place on the lined tray. Prick the pastry squares all over with a fork. Spread the almond mixture evenly over each pastry square, leaving a 1cm border. Arrange the plum slices over the almond mixture. Sprinkle with flaked almonds and extra sugar.
Step 4
Bake for 20-25 mins or until pastry is golden brown and puffed. Serve warm or at room temperature.
