• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. lemon rind, grated
• 2 eggs
• 1-1/4 cups flour
• 3/4 cup ground hazelnuts
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 lb. red plums
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 Tbs. cornstarch
• 1 Tbs. butter
• 1 Tbs. lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp. confectioner's sugar, optional
• 1 Tbs. sweetened whipped cream (optional)

Crust: Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add lemon peel and eggs and beat until fluffy. Gradually stir in flour, ground hazelnuts and cinnamon. Evenly spread all but one cup of the dough over a greased 12-inch pizza pan or over a greased 9- by 13-inch baking pan. Chill pan and remaining dough for 30 minutes. Filling: Stir next five ingredients (plums, sugar, cornstarch, butter, and lemon juice) in a saucepan over low heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Simmer 3 minutes until the plums are almost tender. Cool slightly. Assembly: Spread filling on pastry layer within one-half inch of the edge. Force reserved dough through the pastry tube to make an edge and lattice. Bake at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden. If desired, sprinkle with confectioner's sugar and serve with fresh sweet whipped cream.
