Fig Newtons
Printed from COOKS.COM
Dough/Crust:
3 cup unbleached flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
2 Tbsp. canola oil
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup corn syrup
1 drop lemon extract
1 drop orange extract
2 egg whites
1 tsp. lemon juice
Put all the dough ingredients into a mixing bowl. Beat for three to
four minutes with an electric mixer set at medium speed. Cover the
bowl and refrigerate the dough for two hours.
Filling:
2 1/2 lbs. fresh figs
1/4 cup orange juice
4 Tbsp. honey
While the dough is chilling, make the filling. Wash and drain the
figs, then cut off their tops and halve them. Puree the figs in a food
processor. Pour the puree into a nonstick saucepan and add the orange
juice and honey, combining well. Bring the mixture to a boil, then
lower the heat to medium. Cook until most of the liquid evaporates and
the mixture is thick, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. This
will yield about 1 1/2 cups of filling.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator (after two hours) and divide it
into four parts. Roll each part out to a rectangle about 11 x 5 inches
and one quarter inch thick (use extra flour if necessary). Spread
about 1/3 cup of filling on one section of the dough. Then fold over
each side to make a seam. Using two metal spatulas, turn the dough
with the seam side down.
Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet. Repeat with the other three
sections of dough. Bake at 325 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool,
then cut each roll into six cookies.
Makes 24 fig newtons.
