# Instrucciones:
01 -
In a food processor or mixing bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add butter and pulse or cut in with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and pulse again. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, just until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
02 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and press into a 9-inch (23 cm) tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim excess dough. Prick the base with a fork. Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes using parchment paper and pie weights or dried beans. Remove weights and bake another 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
03 -
In a bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light. Add the egg and almond extract, beating until smooth. Stir in almond flour and regular flour until combined.
04 -
Spread the almond mixture evenly into the partially baked tart shell. Arrange the figs cut-side up over the top in a decorative pattern.
05 -
Bake the assembled tart for 25–30 minutes, until the filling is golden and set. Let it cool completely in the pan.
06 -
Drizzle the cooled tart with honey and sprinkle with sliced almonds before serving, if desired.
# Notas:
01 -
Allow enough time for the crust to chill properly, as this ensures a flakier texture.
