Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup chopped figs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the milk and honey until the honey is fully dissolved. Add the melted unsalted butter to the milk mixture and stir until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the chopped figs, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula if necessary.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pudding is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool in the dish for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, drizzled with additional honey if desired, and enjoy your delicious Fig and Honey Pudding!
Tips
- Use fresh, ripe figs for the most intense flavor. If fresh figs aren't available, dried figs can work well too—just chop them finely.
- Make sure your honey is of high quality, as it significantly impacts the pudding's overall taste. Local, raw honey works best.
- Don't overmix the batter—this can make your pudding tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For an extra touch of elegance, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Check the pudding's doneness by inserting a toothpick—it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the pudding rest for 10 minutes after baking to allow it to set and make serving easier.
