Plum Turnovers recipe

Plum Turnovers are a regular feature in my kitchen at the end of the summer. A few years ago, I bought my father two plum trees as a birthday present. They’ve grown and each year now he harvests so many plums he doesn’t know what to do with them! He always gives me a giant bag of them and I know exactly what to do! Plum Turnovers!

I start by making the pastry crust for the little plum pies. I mix butter cubes with flour, sugar, salt until I have a fine crumb. I always use my fingers to make pastry but some people prefer to us a pastry blender, food mixer or two forks. The filling is super simple – only 3 ingredients!

To make Plum Turnovers, you will need the following ingredients:So, how to make Plum Turnovers?

1
Start the pastry
1

Mix flour, sugar and salt together in a large bowl.

Chop the butter into cubes and place it in the bowl with the flour. Work the butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs but still has some larger chunks of butter.
3
Bring the dough together
3

Pour in the vinegar and ice water one tablespoon at a time. Stir constantly while you are doing this. Add water until the dough just comes comes together.
4
Chill the pastry dough

Make the dough into a circular shape. Wrap it in plastic wrap (or an environmentally friendly alternative) and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour.

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each one dough piece into a thin circle measuring around 6 inches across.
9
Add filling
5

Spoon an equal amount of the filling into the middle of each pastry circle.
10
Fold over the pastry
5

Brush the edges of each pastry disc with some of the beaten egg mixture. Fold the dough over the filling to create a semi circle. Press around the edges with a fork to crimp them.
