Indulgent fig and walnut slice - ideal for any occasion!
Ingredients:
  • 200g butter, softened
  • 141.90 gm caster sugar
  • 4.40 gm vanilla essence
  • 500.00 ml plain flour
  • pure icing sugar, to serve
  • 375g packet dessert figs
  • 100g walnuts
  • 57.20 gm honey
  • 2.50 gm ground cinnamon
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 170°C. Grease a 3cm-deep, 18cm x 28cm slab pan and line it with baking paper.
  • Create a delicious fig and walnut spread by combining figs, walnuts, honey, and cinnamon in a small food processor until smooth.
  • With an electric mixer, whip together butter, sugar, and vanilla essence until light and creamy. Fold in the flour using a wooden spoon. Use your hands to shape the dough into a ball. Split the dough in half and press one portion into the prepared pan.
  • Spread the fig mixture evenly over the base. Roll out the remaining flour mixture until it's large enough to cover the filling. Carefully place it over the filling, pressing it back together if it breaks slightly.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden. Let sit in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to wire rack. Cut into pieces while warm. Cool, dust with icing sugar, and serve.
