Instructions

1. For the pastry: Rub together the flour and butter on the countertop. Add the sugar, followed by the eggs. And then add enough milk to work the mixture into a dough. Divide the dough into two and wrap each ball in clingfilm, and chill in the fridge until ready to use.

2. Preheat oven to 190C/ 375F/ Gas mark 5.

3. Chop the plum and rhubarb. In a medium bowl, mix the fruit together with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes.

4. Roll out 1 pastry dough to fit a 20cm tart tin. Grease the tin with butter and then gently place the dough inside. Add the fruit mixture.

5. Roll out second pastry and place on top of the fruit. Use your fingers of a fork to seal the edges between the pastry. Use a fork to make holes in the top of the pastry.

6. Allow the pie to bake for approx. 1 hour. Once baked, allow to cool in the tin for a few minutes before serving.
