Instructions

  1. 1 Grind the figs, raisins, orange zest and walnuts in a food processor, blender or food grinder. If the mixture is too thick, a couple of tablespoons of water can be added. Gradually blend in the honey, cinnamon, chocolate chips and orange marmalade. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease two baking sheets.
  2. 2 In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and baking powder. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the eggs, milk and vanilla until the mixture can be gathered into a ball. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into strips that are 4 inches wide. Spread filling onto one half of each strip lengthwise. Fold the dough over to cover and seal the edges by pressing on them with the tines of a fork. Slice the filled strips crosswise at an angle about every inch or so. This will make diamond shapes. Place the cookies onto the prepared cookie sheet.
  3. 3 Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Remove from the baking sheet to cool on wire racks. Glaze with your favorite confectioners' glaze and top with sprinkles for added festivity.

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square, deep baking dish.
  2. 2 Combine raisins and Marsala wine in a bowl; set aside to soak.
  3. 3 Sift cassava flour twice into a large mixing bowl. Mix in superfine sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add almond meal and buckwheat flour and sift all the dry ingredients together.
  4. 4 Combine eggs, butter, milk, oil, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Beat on low for with a hand mixer for 1 minute until well combined. Beat on high until fluffy, for a full 2 minutes. (This is a crucial step to ensure a fluffy cake.) Mix in grated apple. Stir in raisins and wine until combined.
  5. 5 Carefully fold egg mixture into flour mixture with a rubber scraper, folding with light, yet deep strokes from the bottom to the top, until batter is just combined and still a bit lumpy, with no visible pockets of flour, being careful not to overmix. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
  6. 6 Arrange apple slices to completely cover the batter, making sure they do not overlap too much; you may not need all of the slices. Sprinkle with raw cane sugar and pine nuts.
  7. 7 Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Switch to the broiler function and cook until the top is slightly browned, about 2 minutes.
  8. 8 Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before cutting and serving.

Instructions

  1. 1 To make the dough: Beat 3 cups of sugar and butter together in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, and salt; mix well. Blend in flour and baking powder by hand, then knead dough until smooth and workable. Add enough milk to reach a soft, workable consistency. (This takes time and effort, but you'll know the dough is ready when it becomes smooth).
  2. 2 To make the filling: Place chopped figs, raisins, chopped orange, and chopped apple in a food processor; pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but still has texture. If the mixture is too dry or thick, mix in up to 1 cup of water, if desired. Transfer to a bowl and stir in chopped pecans, ½ cup sugar, and cinnamon, then knead everything together by hand until combined. The mixture will be sticky.
  3. 3 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  4. 4 Roll out a portion of the dough into a thin sheet on a lightly floured surface. Spoon a line of fig mixture down the center. Dampen the edges of the dough with water and fold over the filling, sealing fig filling inside. Cut the filled strip into 2-inch pieces or to your desired length. Make 2 or 3 slits in the top of each cookie to allow steam to escape. Arrange cookies on prepared baking sheets; repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  5. 5 Bake cookies in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

  1. 1 Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan; stir in rice. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Set aside off heat.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, place raisins in a small saucepan; cover with boiling water. Cook over low heat until raisins plump, about 10 minutes. Drain. Set aside.
  3. 3 Combine flour and ⅓ cup superfine sugar in the bowl of a food processor; add butter and pulse until mixture looks like cornmeal. Pulse in 1 egg yolk; pulse in ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough holds together when squeezed. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours.
  4. 4 Combine cooked rice, milk, orange zest, and 1 tablespoon white sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, until filling is thick and creamy. Remove from heat.
  5. 5 Whisk remaining 3 egg yolks and ⅓ cup white sugar together in a large bowl; gradually add hot rice mixture, 1 cup at a time, whisking constantly. Stir in raisins, ricotta cheese, orange flower water, vanilla, and cinnamon. Cool filling to room temperature.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  7. 7 Roll ¾ dough into an 11-inch circle; place into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Cover dough lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Roll out remaining ¼ dough into a 10-inch circle. Cut into lattice strips. Set aside.
  8. 8 Beat 4 egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold ⅓ whites into rice filling to lighten, then quickly fold in remaining ⅔ whites until no streaks remain.
  9. 9 Pour filling into dough-lined pan. Start with the longest lattice dough strips and lay the first 2 in an X in the center of the pie. Alternate horizontal and vertical strips, weaving them in an over-and-under pattern. Use the shortest strips for the edges of the lattice. Seal lattice strips to bottom of pastry edges.
  10. 10 Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is golden brown, about 1 hour. Cool about 4 hours. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Instructions

  1. 1 In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry blender, or pinching between your fingers. Add egg, and mix until a dough forms. It may take a couple of minutes of mixing. When the dough starts to hold together, turn it out onto a floured surface and knead briefly. Shape dough into a long roll, wrap, and set aside.
  2. 2 Place the figs, almonds, apricot preserves, raisins, orange peel, chocolate, rum, and cinnamon into a food processor or blender. Process until finely chopped. If the fruit is hard, it may be soaked in boiling water to soften for 15 minutes before processing.
  3. 3 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small bowl, mix together the remaining egg and milk to make an egg wash.
  4. 4 Divide dough into 12 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece out into a 3x12 inch rectangle. Brush the strips of dough lightly with egg wash. Place a strip of the fruit mixture lengthwise down the center of each piece of dough, and fold the edges over. Roll gently to seal. This will make the filled tube of dough a little bit longer. Cut each tube into 3 inch pieces. Make a one inch long slit with a knife down the center of each cut end. Spread the ends out to form an X shape. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto lightly greased cookie sheets.
  5. 5 Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are golden. Allow cookies to cool on the tray for at least 5 minutes, so they will not be too delicate, before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar when cool.

  1. 1 Gather the ingredients.
  2. 2 To make the filling: Working in two batches with ½ of the figs and ½ of the dates at a time, pulse dried fruit in a food processor until finely chopped; transfer to a bowl.
  3. 3 Use a vegetable peeler to peel orange zest into the empty food processor. Juice the orange until you have 3 tablespoons juice; add it to the food processor. Add raisins, pecans, honey, brandy, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg and process until finely mixed.
  4. 4 Add fig mixture and process until well combined, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time as needed to reach a thick consistency. Refrigerate filling for 8 hours to overnight.
  5. 5 To make the dough: Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a food processor and process for 5 seconds to combine. Add butter and shortening and pulse until crumbly. Add milk, egg, vanilla, and almond extract and process until a dough forms.
  6. 6 Turn dough onto a well-floured surface and knead until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  7. 7 When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Turn dough onto a floured surface and cut into 4 pieces. Roll one piece into a 4x12-inch rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick. Trim off any excess to form straight edges and save to make more cookies.
  8. 8 Place about ¼ of the filling in a 1-inch log shape down the rectangle, just to the right of the center line. Dampen the edges of the dough with water and fold the right edge over the filling. Continue rolling the dough toward the left edge, then rock back and forth gently to stretch and seal the edges. Cut the log into 2 ½- to 3-inch pieces. Make 2 or 3 slits in the top of each cookie to allow steam to escape. Transfer to prepared baking sheet; repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  9. 9 Bake in batches in the preheated oven until golden on the bottom and cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  10. 10 Meanwhile, prepare the icing: Whisk powdered sugar and milk together in a bowl until smooth. Divide icing into thirds in 3 small bowls. Color one bowl with red food coloring to make pink icing, color another bowl with green food coloring to make green icing, and leave the remaining icing white.
  11. 11 Dip each cooled cookie into a different color icing and allow excess to drip off. Place iced cookies on parchment paper and decorate lightly with sprinkles. Allow to dry for at least 20 minutes before serving.
