BRITISH FIG ROLLS - ALMOST BETTER THAN SHOP BOUGHT! RECIPE ...
This is a recipe I found many years ago for authentic Fig Rolls, and they are almost better than the shop bought variety, much though I love the commercial ones! Try to roll out the pastry as thinly as possible, other than that, this recipe is a breeze to make. Fig rolls are a much-loved "biscuit" from my childhood days and I make them whenever I can as I now live in France, as we cannot get them here. Fig rolls are great for a mid-morning snack with a cuppa as well as being ideal for school lunchboxes, picnics, gifts and afternoon tea. (I have posted this recipe on Zaar especially for Lalaloula, who asked about a fig roll recipe in the British forum.)

Steps:
- Lightly grease a baking sheet.Pre-heat oven to 175C/350F/Gas Mark 5.
- Put the figs in a saucepan with 300 ml (1/2 pint) water. Simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the figs are tender and the liquid is well reduced. Set aside to cool, then puree in a blender or food processor.
- Put the remaining ingredients for the pastry in a blender or food processor with 30 ml (2 tbsp) water and mix to a dough.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface, then roll out to an oblong about 40 x 12 cm (16 x 5 inches).
- Spread the fig puree down the centre of the dough rectangle and carefully fold in the sides so that they overlap over the filling.
- Trim the ends of the roll and cut into 3 cm (1 1/4 inch) wide slices. Turn the rolls over and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Mark the top of each roll with a wet fork and bake for 25-30 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool on a rack.

Steps:
Butter a baking tray.
Combine the butter, sugar, spices and egg yolk in a bowl and beat together until light and fluffy. Add the flour and ground almonds, bringing the mixture together with your hands to form a stiff dough.
On a floured surface, work the dough for 1 minute. Wrap the dough in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, combine the figs with the water in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice and sugar, then place over a low heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Simmer and stir occasionally for about 10 minutes or until the mixture is thick. Allow the mixture to cool, then transfer to a blender and whiz until smooth.
Preheat the oven to l80°C/gas 4.
Remove the pastry dough from the fridge, divide in half and roll each half into a rectangle about 25cm x 10cm. For each rectangle, spread half of the filling over the pastry, leaving a 1cm border of dough along the long sides. Lift one long side of the pastry and fold it into the centre. Repeat with the other side. Press the seams together to seal them. Carefully lift the pastry and place it, seam-side down, on a baking tray. Repeat with the second rectangle (the tray will hold 2 pastries).
Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes. Transfer to a chopping board and cut each roll into 8 slices about 3cm wide and leave to cool before serving. The fig rolls will keep for up to a week in an airtight container.
Preparation time: 75 mins including chilling

- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle the same size as an A4 piece of paper.

Brush the edges with water and fold the pastry over to seal – like making a sausage roll. Make a fork print along the top. Place the rolls seal-side down on a baking tray and bake for 20 mins until brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool, then cut the rolls into 8 pieces.
