Ingredients

• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 400 grams fresh figs
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoons almond extract
• 1 optional for glaze egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon optional for glaze cream or milk

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the tart crust. In a large bowl, combine 200 grams of all-purpose flour, 50 grams of granulated sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.

Step 2

Cut 100 grams of unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add 3 tablespoons of cold water to the mixture, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough begins to come together. It should not be sticky.

Step 4

Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 6

While the dough is chilling, prepare the figs by washing 400 grams of fresh figs and cutting them into halves or quarters, depending on size.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, and 0.5 teaspoons of almond extract.

Step 8

Once the dough is chilled, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to fit into a 9-inch tart pan, leaving about 1 inch of overhang.

Step 9

Transfer the rolled dough to the tart pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess.

Step 10

Arrange the cut figs on the tart shell in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping them if necessary.

Step 11

Drizzle the honey and lemon mixture evenly over the figs.

Step 12

Optional: To glaze, mix 1 egg yolk with 1 tablespoon cream or milk and brush over the edges of the tart crust.

Step 13

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the figs are softened.

Step 14

Allow the tart to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
