Steps to prepare the closed tart
In the stand mixer, I placed the flour with the sugar and butter with the eggs.
I melted the white chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds.
I added it to the dough in the stand mixer and mixed the ingredients together with a grated lemon zest.
With the rolling pin, I rolled out the shortcrust pastry and with a 22 cm flower-shaped pastry cutter, I created a flower-shaped base. I poured a generous amount of plum jam on top.
I prepared another base of pastry, also cut into a flower shape and
placed it on top of the other layer with the jam, aligning the edges. With the remaining pastry, I made 5 small roses by rolling pieces of the rolled-out dough.
Bake in the oven at 356°F for 25 minutes
Dust with powdered sugar and serve even warm.
