Ingredients

Let’s Cook!

• 1
  Preheat the oven to gas 6 / 200C / 400°F and lightly grease a 12 hole muffin tin
• 2
  Mix the flour, gum, sugar and baking powder together
• 3
  Cut in the butter until you make 'crumbs'
  
• 4
  Divide the crumbs between the muffin tin holes and press in really well to make the bases
  
• 5
  Place half a plum on top of each base, cut side down. Don't bother peeling it as the skin will come away in the oven
  
• 6
  Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and top each tart generously with the mixture
  
• 7
  Bake for 40 minutes then remove the plum skins and ease the tarts out of the tin with a fork. The plums will have reduced down and mixed with the sugar to form jam with a very soft fruit on top
