Hello,
This is originally from Public Radio’s “Splendid Table”:
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 stick of butter
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 2 eggs
- 24 plum halves
Cream butter and sugar, add flour salt and eggs. Put in pan arrange plums, skin side down. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. Test for doneness. These freeze really well. This makes two tortes and it scales well.
We had a great kitchen last night with a lot of delicious food. A special thanks to Andrew and Kara Lee for bringing the tomatoes. Each person went home with two containers of tortellini soup, a plum torte, a fresh tomato and pepper salad and a pan of eggplant parmesan. All the produce came from the Columbia City Farmer’s Market. Looking forward to October’s kitchen. Start thinking of menu ideas and let me know!
