Nothing fussy about this dessert yet it looks so pretty. Best thing is, the dough can be prepared a month in advance and frozen. Make some tonight and store it so you always have a treat for those unexpected guests.

Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a food processor, combine flour sugar and salt. Run the processor for a couple of seconds, until the dry ingredients are just combined. Add butter and pulse the processor until mixture resembles a coarse meal (about 10 seconds).  Continue pulsing to add in the egg and egg yolk. Stop as soon as the egg is incorporated. Be careful not to over process.
2. Place the dough onto a floured surface and shape into a flat disk. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for about 1 hour. (Dough may be frozen up to 1 month wrapped in plastic and stored in a freezer zip lock bag.)
3. Once the pastry has chilled, remove from refrigerator and place on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry into a 10-inch round (about 1/4-inch in thickness). Keep rotating the pastry to ensure that it doesn’t stick. Transfer pastry to a parchment baking sheet.
4. Spread the fig jam over the pastry leaving a 2-inch border. Gently fold the edges of the pastry up over the jam to create a pleated look. Be sure to patch any holes or cracks before baking. Sprinkle the jam with sliced almonds.
5. Bake tart for 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Allow to cool for a few minutes and serve.

• 1-1/2 cups buttermilk
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1-1/2 teaspoons vinegar
• 1 package Baker’s Chocolate Dipping Sauce
