Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180-200°C (356-392°F). Preheating ensures your pie bakes evenly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the **eggs** together with the **sugar**, **sour cream**, **vegetable oil**, and **vanilla extract** until smooth and well combined. Use a hand mixer or whisk for best results.

Step 3

In another bowl, sift together the **flour** and **baking powder**. Sifting helps remove any lumps and incorporates air into the flour.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the batter light.

Step 5

Grease your baking tin with butter and lightly dust it with flour. Pour in the batter. This helps prevent the pie from sticking to the tin.

Step 6

Spread the sliced figs on top of the batter. You can sprinkle with spices and almond petals if desired. Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.

Step 7

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the pie towards the end of the baking time to avoid overcooking.

Step 8

Allow the pie to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Cooling helps the pie set and makes it easier to cut.

Servings

Serving this Fig Pie is where you can let your creativity shine! 🌟 For a touch of elegance, dust the top with a bit of powdered sugar, adding an extra layer of finesse. For gatherings, serve the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream; the combination of warm pie and melting ice cream is pure bliss! 🍩 Consider pairing the pie with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and a drizzle of honey for a more indulgent treat. If you’re hosting a brunch, a slice of this pie alongside a fresh fruit salad can elevate your spread from ordinary to outstanding! 🍉🍓 Want to make your dessert plate pop? Garnish with a few whole figs and a sprig of mint! 🌿 The balance of flavors and the presentation will undoubtedly earn you rave reviews.

Variations

For those with dietary restrictions, don't worry! You can still enjoy this delicious pie with a few tweaks.✹ Gluten-Free Variation:🍰 - Replace the flour with a gluten-free baking blend. - Ensure all other ingredients are certified gluten-free (such as baking powder). Vegan Variation:đŸŒ± - Substitute the eggs with a mix of flax seeds and water or use a store-bought egg replacer. - Replace sour cream with a vegan alternative such as coconut cream. - Use a plant-based oil instead of a dairy or animal-based fat. These tweaks don’t sacrifice flavor—your pie will be just as delightful! 😋

Faq

  • Why did my pie turn out too dense?

    This can happen if the batter is overmixed. Once the wet and dry ingredients are combined, mix just until they are incorporated.

  • How can I tell if my pie is done baking?

    Insert a toothpick into the center of the pie. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, your pie is ready!

  • What type of figs should I use?

    Dried figs can work, but fresh figs deliver the best flavor and texture for this pie.

  • How do I prevent the figs from sinking to the bottom?

    Coat the figs lightly in flour before placing them on top of the batter. This helps them stay suspended during baking.

  • Can I prepare the pie in advance?

    Yes, you can prepare and refrigerate the batter up to one day in advance. The baked pie also stores well for up to 2 days in the fridge.

  • How can I make the pie more decorative?

    Arranging the figs in a spiral pattern on top of the pie before baking can add a beautiful touch. You can also sprinkle some almond petals or powdered sugar once baked.
