Pie Crust
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup soft shortening (e.g., Crisco)
1 egg yolk
4 tablespoons water
Filling and Finishing
6-8 large ripe plums
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
freshly ground nutmeg (amount to taste)
2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
1/4 cup heavy cream (for finishing)
3-4 tablespoons granulated sugar (for finishing)

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
For the Crust: Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl until well blended. Cut shortening into the flour mixture. In a separate bowl whisk together egg yolk and water. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and mix well until dough forms into a ball. Roll out to cover a 9 inch pie plate. (Note: Dough should hang over dish lip by an inch or two. Do not trim.)
3
For the Filling: Halve and pit the plums. Slice into equally sized pieces (about 6-8 pieces per half). Arrange fruit on crust. Mix sugar, cinnamon and flour in a medium-sized bowl, and pour over the fruit. Grate nutmeg over fruit and sugar. Dot pie with butter.
4
Fold crust edges up over the filling. Brush crust with heavy cream using a pastry brush. Spring sugar over the crust.
5
Bake pie for 45 minutes (or until fruit is bubbling and crust is light brown). Cool on a wire rack. Serve while still warm with a scoop of premium vanilla ice cream.
