Crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 stick of frozen butter cut into 1/2 inch cubes (I cut the butter and then place it in the freezer)
8 tbsp of ice water
Filling:
1-1 1/2lbs figs
1/4 cup marmalade or jelly (I used a mix of pear and fig marmalade)
1 tbsp sugar
Directions:
Crust:
Blend flour, salt and sugar in the food processor.
Add butter and pulse until butter is the size of peas (10-12 times)
Keep pulsing while adding a tablespoon of water at a time until the dough begins to form clumps
Empty dough onto a clean slightly floured surface
Form into a ball (don't overknead, just form it into a ball with as little handling as possible).
Pat down into a disk and chill for at least 30 min, preferably an hour.
Filling:
Preheat oven to 375°F
Cut tops off figs and cut figs into quarters.
Place on parchment or wax paper on a cookie sheet.
Place dough on floured surface and roll out to 12-14 inch round.
Spread marmalade in the middle of the dough, leaving approximately a 2 inch border
Arrange figs in circular pattern on top of the marmalade.
Sprinkle the figs with the tablespoon of sugar.
Fold the border of the crust over the figs, pleating the crust.
Bake for 45 minutes until crust is lightly browned. Fruit should be bubble.
Remove from oven. Let cool & serve.
