butter
      7    Large red plums, pitted,
           -each cut into 8 wedges
      4 tb Sugar
      1    pate Sucree Dough

  Preheat oven to 400F.  Line baking sheet with foil; butter foil. Place
  plums on prepared sheet, spacing evenly.  Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons
  sugar. Bake until plums are tender but stil hold shape, about 30 minutes.
  Cool plums on sheet.
  
  Roll out dough on floured surface to 12-inch-diameter round.  Transfer
  pastry to center of another heavy large baking sheet.  Overlap plums in
  concentric circles on pastry, forming 9-inch-diameter circle in center.
  Combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Sprinkle
  sugar mixture over plums.  Fold edge of pastry over plums, pinching to seal
  any cracks in pastry.  Brush crust twice with egg white.
  
  Bake tart until crust is golden, about 25 minutes.  Run thin sharp knife
  carefully under tart edges to loosen from sheet.  Cool 15 to 30 minutes.
  Serve tart slightly warm with ice cream.
