Instructions

In a bowl, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the icing sugar, then add the egg yolk and water. Mix until a dough forms, then wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
200 g plain flour, 100 g unsalted butter, 50 g icing sugar, 1 large egg yolk, 2 tbsp cold water
Set to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease six tart tins.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and line the tart tins. Prick the base with a fork, line with baking paper, and fill with baking beans. Blind bake for 10 minutes, then remove the paper and beans and bake for another 5 minutes until golden.
Beat the butter and sugar until creamy, then add the eggs one at a time. Stir in ground almonds, flour and vanilla extract.
100 g unsalted butter, 100 g caster sugar, 2 large eggs, 100 g ground almonds, 1 tbsp plain flour, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Spoon the almond cream into the tart shells and arrange the sliced figs on top, pressing them slightly into the filling.
8 large fresh figs
Place the tarts in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the filling is set and golden.
Allow the tarts to cool slightly, then drizzle with honey, sprinkle with flaked almonds, and dust with icing sugar before serving.
2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp flaked almonds, Icing sugar
