Plan to bring huge pastries over (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stratagem

'plan' is the definition.
(stratagem is a kind of plan)

'huge pastries over' is the wordplay.
'huge' becomes 'mega' (mega can mean very large).
'pastries' becomes 'tarts' (tart is a kind of pastry).
'over' says the letters should be written backwards.
'mega'+'tarts'='megatarts'
'megatarts' in reverse letter order is 'STRATAGEM'.

'to bring' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stratagem that I've seen before include "A cunning plan or piece of trickery" , "Ruse" , "Clever scheme" , "Cunning manoeuvre" , "Cunning plot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
