Tart:
~ 1 cup natural raw almonds (not blanched)
~ 1/8 cup sugar
~ 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
~ 1/2 tsp baking powder
~ 1/8 tsp cinnamon
~ 1/8 tsp salt
~ 3 eggs
~ 4 Tbsp butter, melted, cooled
~ 12 to 14 ripe figs
~ 1/8 cut sliced almonds, toasted
~ 1/2 tsp almond extract
~ 1 tsp sugar for sprinkling

Step 1: Prepare butter
Melt butter, cool off. Put aside.

Step 2: Prepare almonds
Toast almonds by spreading them onto a baking sheet and put in the oven at 350 for 10-12 min.

Step 3: Prepare figs
Remove stem from each fig and cut in half. Put aside.

Step 4: Make almond mixture 
In a food processor combine raw almonds and sugar – grind to a coarse powder.
Sift in flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; pulse to combine.

Step 5: Make eggs & butter mixture
With hand-mixer, whisk eggs until foamy. Add melted butter, honey and almond extract.

Then combine: To egg mixture add almond mixture and beat for a minute until batter is just mixed. Do not overmix.

Butter a 9-inch tart pan or pie pan. Pour batter into the pan.
Arrange fig halves cut-side up over the batter.
Sprinkle figs with 1 tsp sugar and toasted sliced almonds.

Bake at 375 for 30 minutes, until golden outside and dry at center when probed with a cake tester.
