Instructions

Step 1

Pastry Dough

Mix the dough on speed 3 until it forms a sticky, dense mass.
Transfer the dough into a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
Spread and smooth the dough across the dish, forming an even base and tart edges.

Step 2

Bake the tart at 180°C (355°F) for 45 minutes.
Let the tart cool before serving.

Variations

Gluten-Free Variation: 🌾 Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure your baking powder is also gluten-free. Same great taste without the gluten!

Vegan Variation: 🥑 Make this tart vegan by replacing the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) and using a plant-based butter substitute. Ensure the chocolate butter is also vegan. Enjoy a plant-friendly treat!

Faq

  • Q: Can I make the dough without a food processor?

    A: Absolutely! You can mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and use a pastry cutter or fork to blend in the butter, then mix in the egg by hand.

  • Q: What should I do if the dough is too sticky?

    A: If your dough is too sticky, try chilling it in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to the baking dish.

  • Q: How do I know when the tart is done baking?

    A: The tart is done when the edges are firm and slightly pulled away from the dish. The figs should also be softened and slightly caramelized on top.

  • Q: Can I substitute other fruits for figs?

    A: Certainly! You can use other fruits like raspberries, pears, or even a mix of berries. Just ensure the fruits are ripe and sliced thinly.

  • Q: How do I store any leftover tart?

    A: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should keep well for 3-4 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage.

  • Q: Any tips for the perfect tart crust?

    A: Make sure your ingredients, especially the butter, are at the right temperature. Also, don’t over-mix the dough; aim for a just-combined consistency to avoid a tough crust.
