  1. 1

    In a bowl of a stand mixer, with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar for just a minute until well combined. Add the vanilla, salt and egg yolk. Next, add the flour and combine well. Pro tip - Do not overcream as we do not want to add too much air into the dough.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar, then add the almond meal, flour, and salt. Add eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Pro tip - Alternatively, you can add all ingredients to a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or food processor and combine well.

  3. 3

    Wash and pat dry the figs then cut into halves or quarters depending on the size.

  4. 4

    Pour filling into the partially-baked pastry only about 2/3 full leaving space for the figs.
