Preparation
- Step 1
To make the crust, place the pecans, cinnamon and orange zest in a food processor. Pulse until the nuts are finely ground. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and follow the instructions in the first step of the tart-dough recipe as above, omitting the lemon zest. Proceed with the dough's second step.
- Step 2
Scrape the vanilla bean into the half-and-half, add the sugar, egg yolks and flour, whisk well and refrigerate. Toss the plums with the sugar.
- Step 3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll out the dough and fit into 12-inch tart pan. Prick the dough lightly with a fork. Arrange the plums in concentric circles, using as many layers as necessary. Gently pour the half-and-half mixture over the tart; the mixture will not cover the plums completely, but it should be evenly distributed. Bake until the custard is set, 45 to 50 minutes.
