Instructions

  1. 1 Combine whole wheat flour, ground walnuts, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl.
  2. 2 Beat butter, brown sugar, and honey together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg, orange zest, and vanilla extract; beat until thoroughly combined. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, mixing until just combined and dough is very soft and sticky.
  3. 3 Wrap dough in plastic wrap. Pat into a disk and refrigerate, 4 hours to overnight.
  4. 4 Place figs, water, honey, orange juice, vanilla extract, orange zest, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan. Bring filling mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until figs are softened and fall apart easily when pressed with a spoon, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes.
  5. 5 Place filling mixture into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Pour puree into a glass container and let cool completely until filling has a spreadable consistency. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  7. 7 Place a piece of parchment paper on a work surface and generously flour the paper and a rolling pin. Roll out the chilled cookie dough into a 10x14-inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Continue to flour the parchment and rolling pin as necessary. Divide dough into 4 strips about 3 1/2 inches wide by 10 inches long.
  8. 8 Divide the fig filling among the strips of dough. Spread filling lengthwise down the center of each piece, leaving about 1/2 inch of space on the sides. Gently pull one side of the dough halfway over the filling. Repeat with the opposite side and pinch to seal in the filling to form a cookie log about 1 inch wide and 10 inches long.
  9. 9 Gently roll the log over so it's seam-side down. Brush off any excess flour and gently press the top of the roll to flatten slightly. Repeat this process with the other dough strips.
  10. 10 Brush off any excess flour from the top of, and in between, the cookie logs. Gently lift the parchment paper, with the cookies still on it, onto a baking sheet. Arrange logs about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
  11. 11 Bake in the preheated oven until cookies just begin to brown and feel slightly crispy to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cookies cool for 5 minutes. Use a serrated knife to slice each log into 8 pieces about 1 1/4 inch long and 1 inch wide. Let cookies cool completely, at least 40 minutes.
  12. 12 Store cooled cookies in an airtight container until softened, 8 hours to overnight.

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Place the ramekins in a deep oven-safe pan or dish. Set aside.
  2. 2 In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla bean and scrapings, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, orange zest and ginger over medium heat. Cook until it comes to a simmer. Turn off heat and let it steep for 10 minutes.
  3. 3 While the heavy cream is steeping, place the sugar and water in a medium saucepan with tall sides. Before turning on the heat, gently mix until the sugar turns the consistency of wet sand. Then cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat until the sugar starts to melt and turns deep amber. Turn off the heat and slowly whisk in the warm heavy cream mixture.
  4. 4 In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and salt. Slowly stir in the warm caramel mixture. Strain this custard through a fine sieve and discard spices.
  5. 5 Pour the custard into the ramekins and fill the baking pan with boiling water to halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Be careful not to let the water enter inside the ramekin. Cover the baking pan with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil and place inside the oven.
  6. 6 Bake for 60-75 minutes until the center of the custard is set but still jiggles slightly. Remove from oven and let the ramekins sit in the pan until cool enough to handle. Dry the bottoms of the ramekins and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Serve with whipped cream and chopped pistachios.

Instructions

  1. 1 Make the dough: Heat rum in a small saucepan until steaming. Place currents into a small bowl and pour steaming rum over top; let sit for about 2 hours to soften. Drain; reserve liquid for another use.
  2. 2 Whisk warm milk, 1/4 cup bread flour, and yeast together in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let stand until small bubbles start to rise to the surface, about 15 minutes. Add sugar, beaten egg, lemon and orange zest, cinnamon, salt, cardamom, and nutmeg. Add melted butter, then spoon in most of the remaining bread flour (you might not need it all). Mix with a dough hook attachment until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and becomes slightly elastic, 5 or 6 minutes. Continue kneading until dough is soft and shiny, about 10 minutes. Remove dough from dough hook and shape into a ball. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface.
  3. 3 Flatten dough into a large oval about 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle strained currants evenly over the surface. Fold dough into thirds, then turn and fold into thirds again. Reshape dough into a round ball. Transfer to a lightly oiled mixing bowl. Cover and let rise in a relatively warm, draft-free place until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
  4. 4 Poke dough down a bit with your fingertips. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and flatten out into an even shape. Divide into 16 equal pieces using a bench scraper. Roll each piece of dough into a round ball. Arrange evenly on a silicone-lined baking sheet. Let rise for 15 minutes.
  5. 5 Mix 1/3 cup all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup water in a mixing bowl until mixture is thick enough to hold its shape but thin enough to pipe. Transfer to a piping bag and pipe a cross on top of risen bun. Let rise until doubled in volume again, another 15 or 20 minutes.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  7. 7 Bake the buns in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  8. 8 Meanwhile, make the glaze: Bring sugar and water to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until sugar dissolves and mixture starts to thicken, or until it reaches a temperature of 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Remove from the heat.
  9. 9 Let buns cool on a rack for 5 minutes before glazing. Brush glaze lightly over the tops of the buns.
