Author Notes
It's a rustic looking, simple fig tart. Great for early fall. Sweet fig and neutral tart dough create a perfect balance. —Ekin Soyaslan
Ingredients
-
6
medium size fig
-
280 grams
flour
-
175 grams
unsalted butter (cold & cubed)
-
15 grams
sugar (1 tablespoon)
-
130 grams
Brown sugar (30 gram fort he figs / 100 gram for the baking process)
-
1 pinch
salt
-
60 milliliters
cold water
-
1/2 tablespoon
Vanilla extract
-
Heavy crème
Directions
-
Mix flour, 15 gr. Sugar and salt. Add cubed butter.
-
Mix the flour & butter with a pastry cutter or with your hands. Make sure the largest pieces of butter should be about the size of a pea.
-
Add slowly the cold water… You should add a little, mold a little. Keep doing this few times.
-
You’ll have very dry dough. Take it to the kitchen top and mold it a little bit more. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
-
Peel figs and cut them to 4-6 pieces.
-
Poor the vanilla extract and 30 gr of brown sugar over the figs and mix it roughly with your hands. Beware not to dahs!
-
Heat the oven to 200 °C
-
Roll out your dough. I use a knife to slice off errant blobs and roll them back into patches where they’re needed.
-
Place figs in the middle, fold the edges. If it breaks during the folding process don’t worry, try to mold this parts with your fingertips.
-
Put it in the oven and bake it for 30 min. Take it out, sprinkle the100 gr brown sugar to the edges then bake it for another 15 min.
-
Serve it with heavy crème.

PS1: The dough is very dry, it won’t look perfect, it doesn’t suppose to J It’s a “rustic” tart!
PS2: Since we’re 2 people we cooked half of the ingredients, what you see in is half portion.
