Notes
You can largely adapt this recipe to the ingredients you have on hand and according to your tastes.
For the dough, mix different flours (chestnut, old varieties of wheat, etc.), test different types of oil (I personally prefer olive oil to rapeseed oil, you could also try coconut oil).
For the filling, you can use other plums than Damson type, and replace the wild blueberry jam by the jam you like (figs, apple jelly, elderberry...).
You can also replace almond powder by slivered almonds, or crushed peeled pistachios for instance...
