Method
-
step 1
Roll the pastry on a lightly floured work surface into a rectangle approximately 34cm × 18cm. Beat the double cream and egg yolk together and use to brush the edges of the pastry. Fold the edges of the pastry over to make a 1cm wide border. Brush with more of the glaze and chill the pastry on a baking sheet for at least 30 minutes.

step 2
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast for 6 minutes or until pale golden. Cool. Put a baking sheet in the oven.
-
step 3
Whizz the toasted almonds in a food processor until finely ground. Add the caster sugar, softened butter, egg, lemon zest and a pinch of salt. Whizz again until smooth. Spread the almond filling over the bottom of the pastry and chill for 10 minutes while you prepare the figs.

step 4
Cut each fig into quarters through the stalk. Arrange the figs cut-side up over the almond mixture. Slide the baking sheet onto the hot baking sheet in the oven and cook the tart for about 35-45 minutes until golden.
