Make the dough: mix the dry ingredients for the dough.

Add cold butter, cut into cubes. With your fingers RUB the butter into the dry mixture until the formation of the "sand" crumbs.

Add the egg yolk and quickly knead the dough. Long knead not necessary, otherwise the basis will be tough.

If the dough splits and is not going to kom, add one tablespoon of ice water. I had enough of 2 tablespoons. Spread the dough out of the bowl on the Board.

Divide the dough into two UNEQUAL parts. A smaller part will wrap in foil and remove in the refrigerator.

A large part of dough roll out to size round shape for baking, the thickness of the dough about 7-8 mm. in the Form I made baking paper. Helping with a rolling pin, transfer the dough into the pan, lightly presses his hands to the bottom of the form and shape of bumpers.

The bottom of the sand substrate often pinned with a fork and in such form, remove the paste to cool in the fridge for 30-40 minutes. At this time turn on the oven to warm up t 180 degrees. Bake the basis of the will by a "blind" baking. You have covered the dough with parchment paper and pour beans, I cover the dough with parchment paper, pressed it second the same round shape. With this method the dough for baking is not deformed. Bake the base for 15-20 minutes with a load, then the form with the dough take out of the oven, remove the weight and parchment and leave a sand base in the form to cool. The oven does not turn off.

Now prepare the filling. From plums remove the seeds and cut the flesh into wedges. Add the remaining ingredients for the filling, mix everything. Sugar may need more, orientirueshsya the taste of plums.

Spread the filling into the cooled base. If you put the filling on hot dough, the dough will absorb some of the moisture from the filling will be moist after baking. From a small part of the test cut strips and decorate top of cake with netting. Generously sprinkle with almond petals and send Crostata in the oven for another 30-35 minutes or until done.

Give the finished cake a little to cool in pan, then remove from the mold and cut into segments.
