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