Ingredients
20 servings
- •3 cups dried figs
- •1 cup water
- •1 cup white sugar
- •0.5 cup butter, softened
- •1 cup white sugar
- •1 tablespoon milk
- •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- •1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- •1 teaspoon baking powder
- •0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Soak figs in water for 1 hour. Transfer mixture to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until thick and stew-like, 30 minutes or longer. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, cream sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in milk and vanilla until smooth. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl; stir into creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Divide dough into two pieces; knead each piece five or six times. On a well-floured surface, roll each piece out to a 9x13-inch rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Line the prepared pan with one piece of dough, spread with fig mixture, then cover with remaining dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool, then cut into 20 squares.
