Method
Step 1:
Put the flours and butter into a processor and blend it until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Step 2:
Add the icing sugar, egg and cold water and blend again until the mixture forms a ball. Wrap and chill for 15 minutes.
Step 3:
Heat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C, gas mark 6) . Gently mix together the plums, blackberries, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
Step 4:
Take a large sheet of baking parchment and roll out the chilled pastry on to it using a floured rolling pin to a 30cm (12 inch) circle. Lift the paper and pastry onto a baking sheet.
Step 5:
Pile the prepared fruit into the centre of the pastry and fold the pastry edges up and over the fruit.
Step 6:
Brush the pastry edges with milk and sprinkle the pastry with golden granulated sugar. Bake for 40 minutes until the pastry is golden and the fruit tender.
