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
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons honey
vanilla ice cream or cream (to serve)

Instructions

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

Notes

Tips for success

Be sure to have the oven preheated and hot because puff pastry needs that heat to gain lots of rise.
Defrost the puff pastry but keep it cool to make it easier to work with.
Don't cover all the pastry with figs and filling - keep a pastry border around the edge.
Use a small saucer or little pie pan as a guide to cut pastry rounds.

How long do these Fig Tartlets keep?

These tartlets are best just out of the oven or at least the day of baking.

How do I store and reheat these tartlets?

While the tartlets won't be at their best, store pastries at cool room temperature or covered in the refrigerator. Reheat in a hot oven for 3-5 minutes until just warmed through.
