FIG FLAN

Yes it is a good while since my last recipe post. Life has become increasingly busy and cooking can become a bit routine when that happens.  I have been reminded by a few this week of the importance of yummy food without the high fat content.  Time spent baking is always appreciated and does not have to be a chore.

We are planning an evening out at a special event not far out of town. Opera On the Platform

at Beverley so I decided to bake for some supper. 

A friend gave us some figs from his tree this week. With those that were still in the fridge and some creative adjustment to another recipe this one went 

12-14 Figs stems and points removed and halved cross ways

1/4 cup sugar

1 cup of almond meal

1/4 cup of flour

1 tsp of baking powder

1/2 mixed spice ( I like to use baharat)

1/2 cup of egg white or equivalent egg replaced

2 tablespoons of honey

• Line the cake tin with baking paper
• Arrange to figs on the bottom of the cake tin.
• Mix almond meal, sugar, flour and spice in the blender and wizz
• Add egg  whites then honey to the mix. 
• Pour the batter over the figs
• Cook in moderate oven for 30 mins. 

Let it cool

So easy and yum
