Fig Newtons
#fignewtons #freshfigs #howtodehydratefigs
Fresh figs are partially dehydrated in the oven to bring out their sweetness and then Donna makes the classic Fig Newton cookies.
Wash figs and remove the stems. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the figs and boil for 5 minutes. Strain and place figs on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in a 300F oven for 1 ½ hours, reduce heat to 200F and continue to bake until figs are soft and slightly caramelized (about another hour). Cool
Ingredients:
Dough:
1 ½ cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup softened butter
1 egg (room temperature)
⅓ cup sugar
4-3 tablespoons buttermilk (can substitute regular milk/half and half)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling:
1 cup figs
¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoon lemon juice
Optional : 1 tablespoon orange zest
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine. Add the sugar and butter. Stir or mix with your hands to combine like a pie dough.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and combine with 2 tablespoons buttermilk and the vanilla. Stir to combine.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour in the egg mixture and combine into a dough. May need to add more buttermilk (one tablespoon at a time) to form a soft dough. Divide the dough and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375F
Spread a large piece of plastic wrap on the work surface and roll out half the dough into a rectangle approximately 5 inches by 14 inches.
Combine the figs, lemon juice and ¼ cup of sugar and mash into a paste.
Place half the paste in the center of the rolled out dough. Use the plastic wrap to bring up the long end to the other side and gently press down on the dough to adhere. Sprinkle flour to help release the plastic wrap. Cut into 1 inch slices. You can sprinkle sugar on top for added crunch. Bake on a parchment lined cookie sheet for 15-25 minutes or until golden brown.
