Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 4 fresh figs
- 1 sheet (approx 10in/25cm square) store-bought frozen puff pastry (defrosted but chilled)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 teaspoons superfine (castor) sugar
- 4 teaspoons ground almonds
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- vanilla ice cream or cream (to serve)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400ºF/200ºC. Line a baking sheet with non stick (parchment) baking paper.
- 2
Wash figs, cut off stem and slice each fig lengthwise into 6 slices
- 3
Cut 5in/13cm circles out of the puff pastry. Mark (but don't cut all the way through) a 4in/10cm circle within each. (Use a small saucer or little pie pan as a guide to cut pastry rounds - measurement doesn't have to be exact, just what you can fit on the puff pastry sheet.)
- 4
Brush melted butter over each circle of pastry.
- 5
Within the inner circle, sprinkle and spread 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon ground almonds onto each pastry round. Then arrange fig slices overlapping on the pastry, keeping with the inner circle.
- 6
Brush fig slices with any remaining butter, sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle half of the honey over figs.
- 7
Bake for 15-18 minutes until pastry it puffed and browned and figs are softened
- 8
Drizzle with remaining honey. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or cream.
