- 400 g sugar
- 1 yolk
- 30 g potato starch
- 5 tsp. ground cinnamon
Recipe step by step:
- 1. Pour flour onto a work surface and add butter, cut into pieces. Mix everything together, forming large crumbs.
- 2. Collect the crumbs in a pile with a small depression in the center.

- 5. Rinse the plums, dry them, and remove the pits.
- 6. Place in a saucepan, add sugar, cinnamon and cook over low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring constantly.
