Rustic Fig Tart Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
• 1/4 cup ice water
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tbsp honey
• 10-12 fresh figs, sliced
• 2 tbsp turbinado sugar

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt. Add the cold butter and cut in using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
2. Add the ice water and stir until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least an hour.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Fold a piece of parchment paper in half, then roll out the dough on top of the parchment paper into a circle approximately 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and honey. Brush the mixture over the dough.
6. Arrange the sliced figs over the dough, leaving a 1-2 inch (2.5-5 cm) border around the edges. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar over the figs.
7. Optional: Fold the edges of the dough over the figs to create a rustic crust.
8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the figs are tender and caramelized.
9. Allow the tart to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Verdict and Serving Suggestions:

This rustic fig tart is the perfect dessert for any occasion. The combination of rich, buttery crust and sweet, juicy figs is simply divine. Serve it on its own, or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat. Enjoy!
