Add your mixture to a medium bowl and make a well in the middle.
Mix your egg yolk well with the ice water and add it to the flour/butter/sugar, and mix until the dough comes together.
Dump 2/3 of your dough onto your pie tin. I always use parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Press the dough down to the base and up the sides of the tin.

Assemble:
Add the plum mixture to the base and crumble the rest of the dough over it
Bake at 180°C, at the lowest level of your oven, for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown.
