A delicious tart with almond-based frangipane cream, pastry, and fresh figs.
For the frangipane cream: Beat the soft butter and powdered sugar in a stand mixer, or in a bowl with electric beaters, until you get a light and fluffy mixture.
Add one egg at a time until well incorporated. Finally, add almond flour and all-purpose flour and continue mixing until you get a smooth, lump-free cream.
For the pastry: Remove the butter from the refrigerator a little before preparing the pastry, cut it into cubes and place it in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or in a large bowl. Add the sugar, grated lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and mix until combined.
Add the egg yolks, incorporating them into the dough. Finally, add the flour and knead until it is completely absorbed. Work quickly with your hands to form a dough, wrap it in plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator to rest for at least 2-3 hours.
Wash the figs and cut them into slices. Arrange the figs on the tart as desired and bake in a static oven at 180°C for about 35-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Line a mold with parchment paper and roll out the pastry, making small holes on the surface with the tines of a fork. Pour the cream into the mold, leveling it evenly.
Serve your tart with frangipane cream, garnishing it with fresh figs cut into a cross and honey to taste.
Try to work the pastry as little as possible to keep the temperature low.
