Method

1
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper and place the puff pastry sheet on top.
2
In a bowl, combine the sliced plums (or berries) with the cornflour, vanilla bean paste, and sugar. Toss gently to coat.
3
Using a knife, score a 2cm border around the edge of the pastry, cutting about three-quarters of the way through (do not cut all the way). Lightly prick the centre with a fork.
4
Spoon the fruit mixture into the centre of the pastry, spreading evenly and leaving the border clear.
5
Brush the pastry edges with the whisked egg, then sprinkle generously with extra demerara sugar.
6
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden and the fruit is softened and bubbling.
7
(Optional) For a glossy finish, simmer the sugar and water together for a few minutes to create a light syrup, then brush over the tart while warm. Slice and serve warm.

...And that's it, enjoy!
