Method

Caramelised Fig Frangipane Tart

1.In a food processor, combine flour, butter and sugar, then pulse until crumbs form.

2.With the motor running, add yolks and enough water to form a dough. Knead lightly and shape into a disc, then wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.

3.Roll out pastry between two sheets of baking paper until 3mm thick. Ease into a 22cm fluted tart pan and chill for 1 hour. Once chilled, neatly trim pastry edges.

4.Preheat oven to 200°C. Blind-bake pastry case for 10 minutes. Remove paper and weights, then bake for a further 12-15 minutes. Cool.

Frangipane

5.Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then fold in almond meal and flour.

6.Spoon frangipane into cooled pastry case and place fruit over top. Brush with a little maple syrup.

7.Bake for 35-40 minutes until filling is set. Brush with remaining maple syrup and sprinkle with almonds, then serve with ice cream.

It is important to rest the pastry before baking in order to reduce shrinkage.
