Plum Tart (zwetschgendatschi)

Description:
This is one of my favorites. My German "aunt" made this...never have I seen anything disappear so fast!

Ingredients:
7 Tbsp Butter
1/2 cup Sugar
1 Egg
pinch of Salt
1 cup Flour
scant 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
Sliced Prune Plums, or Blackberries, or Dewberries…..almost any fruit

STREUSEL TOPPING

6 Tbsp Chilled Butter
3/4 cup Sugar
1 cup Flour
scant 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 390. (400 if your oven won't register 390) Cream Butter, Sugar and Egg together until very light. Add Flour, Salt and Baking Powder. Spread batter about 1/2 inch deep in a tart pan, spring form pan or pie plate. Chill till firm. Place sliced Plums on top. Sprinkle Streusel Topping over all. Bake until golden. At least 30-40 minutes. The dough freezes well, if you need to wait. Recipe doubles easily. One recipe fills two 8 inch pie plates or one deep tart pan.

To make Streusel:
Stir Flour, Sugar and Cinnamon together. Cut Butter in until mixture is crumbly.
