We channeled our editor’s grandmother’s classic plum kuchen for this easy yet impressive treat.
Plum Biscuit Tart
Yields: 1 (13×9-inch) tart
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar, divided
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 13×9-inch rimmed baking sheet with baking spray with flour.
