For best results, use cold butter for a flaky crust. Feel free to experiment with different types of plums or other stone fruits. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, tent the pan with foil during the second baking period. A sprinkle of cinnamon or almond extract in the custard can add a warm, comforting flavor.
