Ingredients
Method
For the dough:
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and confectioners sugar together until smooth.
- Stir the grated hard boiled egg yolk, the raw egg yolk, the vanilla extract and the orange zest into the butter mixture.
- Add the flour, cinnamon and salt to the butter mixture and stir until blended.
- Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic and chill until firm, about 30 min.
For the filling:
- Chop the figs into four pieces each one and place them into a pan over medium heat along with the two types of sugar and the zest and juice of the lime.
- Stir for about 15 min. until the mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Now process it using a food processer or do it using a hand blender.
- Then pour into a sealed tupper or mason jar and refrigerate.
To assemble the bars:
- Take the dough out of the fridge and cut it into three equal pieces.
- Take one of the pieces and, using kitchen plastic paper beneath (or any other that avoids the dough to stick to the kitchen counter), roll out the dough in a rectangle form to be about 0.5 cm. (cut the rest of dough if neccesary).
- Fill vertically , and using the same plastic wrap, fold onto itself, first one side and then the other one, so that the filling gets totally covered.
- Cover this rectangle in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 min. so it is easier to cut later.
- Cut this dough into little squares and place them in previously greased oven pans.
- Bake at 350°C for about 15 min. or until the edges start to turn gold.
