- 2 tbsp milk
- 4 plums, diced small

- 2 tbsp all purpose flour
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F and line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Grate the cold butter into the bowl using a cheese grater.
- Mix by hand until the mixture resembles small pebbles. Then add the whisked egg and milk, stirring to combine.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the diced plums with sugar, flour, and vanilla until well combined.

Notes
Chill the butter for a flakier crust.
Ensure plums are ripe for the best flavor.
These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
