  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Cut pastry into six 4" squares, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and prick all over with a fork. Top with plums, leaving a 1/2 border.
  2. Sprinkle with sugar; season with a few grinds of pepper.
  3. Bake tarts, rotating pan halfway through, until edges of pastry are puffed and golden brown, 25-30 minutes.
  4. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with salt just before serving.
  5. Do ahead: Tarts can be baked 4 hours ahead. Keep at room temperature.
