125 g butter or margarine, softened
180 g plain flour
25 g Dansukker Cane Sugar Granulated
30 ml water

140 g Dansukker Granulated Sugar

Quickly work together the butter/margarine, sugar and water into a smooth dough. Press the dough into a greased pie dish roughly 28 cm in diameter. Prick with a fork. Chill for 30 minutes.
Grind the almonds finely. Mix together all the ingredients for the filling and pour into the crust. Halve the plums and remove the stones. Press the plum halves into the filling. Bake in the lower part of the oven at 225 °C for about 30 minutes. Serve the pie lukewarm with custard, ice cream or lightly whipped cream. Dust lightly with icing sugar just before serving.
The plums can be replaced with other fruits or berries.
