Instructions
- In a bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, salt. Cut the butter into pieces and add to the flour mix. Using a pastry blender, two forks, or your hands and work the butter into the flour until the mixture is sandy with some larger pieces of butter left (about the size of peas). 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, 12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, 3/4 teaspoon salt
- Add the vinegar and ice water one tablespoon at a time while stirring. Add enough water just until the dough comes together. 1 teaspoon vinegar, 8-10 tablespoons ice water
- Transfer the dough onto a counter and gently shape into a circle. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together the sliced plums, sugar and cornstarch. In a separate bowl beat together the egg with 1 tablespoon water. 2 1/2 cups sliced plums, 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 large egg
- Cut the chilled dough into 8 pieces. On a lightly floured work surface, roll each one out into a thin circle about 6 inches across. Place 1/8 of the filling into the middle of each circle. Brush the edges with the beaten egg. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half circle. Crimp the edges with a fork. Cut 1-2 small slits in the tops of each pastry.
- If the dough begins to soften, refrigerate the turnovers until the dough firms up before baking.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Allow to cool and then serve with ice cream!
