  • Prep Time 15 minutes
  • Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield Serves 8

Ingredients

    • All-purpose flour, for work surface
    • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
    • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
    • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
    • 2 pounds ripe black plums (about 9), halved and pitted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry into an 18-inch square. Trim into a 13-inch circle and cut a small X in center to vent. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze 20 minutes.
  2. In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, melt butter over medium-high. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with sugar and salt; place plums, cut side down, in a single, snug layer.
  3. Return to heat, bring to a rapid simmer, and cook, undisturbed, 7 minutes. Remove from heat and top with pastry. Bake until crust is deep golden brown and juices are thickened, about 35 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack, 10 minutes, then invert onto a platter. Serve warm.
