My favourite bakery in my hometown does an excellent line in fruit frangipane tarts and vary their filing from raspberries, blackberries, peach and pear so thought I would try a variation using fresh figs seeing as they are so beautiful and in abundance right now.
Please excuse my use of ready-rolled pastry, you can of course make your own, but I have been struggling with toothache this week so feeling grotty and on antibiotics again. When I saw the ready-rolled pastry in the reduced section of my local convenience store last night I saw it as a sign and decided to cheat at the first stage of this recipe.
