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
What You'll Need
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.
