Fig Tartlets Recipe

Using store bought puff pastry, a drizzle with honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon, these dessert pastries are quick to make in just 30 minutes!!

📝 Ingredients

• 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
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons honey
• vanilla ice cream or cream (to serve)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400ºF/200ºC. Line a baking sheet with non stick (parchment) baking paper.
2. 2Wash figs, cut off stem and slice each fig lengthwise into 6 slices
3. 3Cut 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. 4Brush melted butter over each circle of pastry.
5. 5Within 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. 6Brush fig slices with any remaining butter, sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle half of the honey over figs.
7. 7Bake for 15-18 minutes until pastry it puffed and browned and figs are softened
8. 8Drizzle with remaining honey. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or cream.
