Versatile pastry recipe customizable for any occasion.
Ingredients:
  • 200g Soft & Juicy Figs, coarsely chopped
  • 55g (1/3 cup) walnut crumbs
  • 15.00 gm hot water
  • 14.40 gm honey
  • 1.25 gm ground cinnamon
  • 250g butter, at room temperature
  • 125g (3/4 cup) icing sugar mixture
  • 375g (2 1/2 cups) plain flour
  • 41.20 gm milk
  • 75g (1/2 cup) plain flour, extra
Instructions:
  • In a bowl, use an electric beater to whip the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla, then add the flour and milk. Stir until a soft dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface, shape it into a disc, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for an hour.
  • Blend fig, walnut, water, honey, and cinnamon in a food processor until smooth paste forms.
  • Preheat oven to 160C and line 2 baking trays with non-stick baking paper. Divide the dough in half. Roll out one portion on a floured surface to 3mm thickness. Use a 7.5cm fluted round cutter to cut out discs, rerolling the dough as needed.
  • Spread a generous teaspoon of the fig mixture on one side of each biscuit, then fold the biscuit in half, pressing around the edges to seal and create a smooth surface. Arrange them neatly on the lined baking trays.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, swapping trays halfway, until lightly golden underneath. Let cool slightly on trays, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough and fig mixture. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
