Ingredients

Dough:

11/4c flour(spooned and levelled) plus more for rolling

1/2 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2c(1 stick) cold,unsalted butter,cut in pieces

2 to 4 Tbs ice water

I use Pillsbury refrigerated prepared crust

Filling:

1/2c blanched almonds

1/2c sugar

2 large eggs

4 Tbs(1/2 stick) unsalted butter,room temperature

2 tsp. flour

1/4 tsp vanilla

1/8 tsp salt

1 lb. ripe fresh figs(about 16) stemmed and thinly sliced

1 Tbs fresh lemon juice

Directions

Make dough: In processor,pulse flour,sugar and salt to combine. Add butter;pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal,with a few pea size pieces of butter remaining. Sprinkle with 2 Tbs ice water;pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed(if necessary,add up to 2 Tbs more water). Do not overmix. Flatten dough into a disk;wrap tightly in plastic. Refrigerate till firm.at least 1 hour and (up to 3 days)

Filing: In processor,combine almonds and sugar;process until finely ground. Add 1 egg,butter,flour,vanilla and salt;pulse till smooth,and set aside. In a med. bowl,combine figs and lemon juice;set aside

Preheat oven to 350. On large lightly floured piece of parchment paper,roll dough to 14" round.Spread almond filling in center,leaving 2" border; top with fig mixture. Fold border over edge of filling,pleating all around;press down gently to seal. In a small bowl, mix remaining egg with 1 tsp. water;brush dough with egg wash.

Lifting edges of parchment,transfer crostada to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until crust is golden brown,about 1 hour. Let cool on baking sheet at least 30 mins. To serve,cut into wedges

I like the sound of this - especially the ingredients and figs are one of my favourite fruits. Oh when I was on holiday visiting family in Croatia they got me to try homemade moonshine and to have it with fresh figs was soooo yummy but the moonshine was really strong made me so tipsy hehehe.
