3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour, plus
2 tbsp whole wheat flour
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp vegetable oil
3 tbsp ice water
11 1/4 oz dried figs, quartered
1 tbsp lemon zest, grated
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
3 tbsp granulated sugar
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tbsp cornstarch
To prepare crust, in small bowl, whisk together all purpose flour and
whole wheat flours, the sugar, salt and cinnamon. Add oil; work in with
fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, 1
tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms soft dough. Gather dough into a
ball; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until chilled, 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 oF. Roll dough between 2 sheets of wax paper into a 9
inch square. Fit dough into an 8 inch square tart pan with removable
bottom, pressing to form a stand-up rim; prick all over with fork. Bake
until light gold, about 18 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
To prepare figs, in medium saucepan, combine figs, 1 cup water, the zest,
juice and sugar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until figs
are soft, 20 minutes. Remove from heat; cool.
To prepare filling, lightly beat yolk in medium bowl; set aside. In small
saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, the sugar, juice, flour and cornstarch.
Bring mixture to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, 3 minutes. Stir
3-4 tablespoons of the mixture into yolk. Add yolk mixture to saucepan,
stirring over low heat, until thickened to a custard-like consistency,
about 2 minutes.
Spoon filling into cooled crust. Spoon fig mixture evenly over filling.
Cool completely on wire rack before cutting into 12 pieces.
