Subject: OVO: Fig Newtons
When I get a package of Fig Newtons from the store, I can sit down and
eat them all at one time. So, I searched for a recipe to make them.
Here is a recipe that I use to make Fig Newtons. Let them set for a
day and they taste just like the those from the store. This recipe is
from ``COOKIES'' by HPBooks (page 122).
(I substitute all-purpose flour for the whole-wheat flour.)
WHOLE-WHEAT FIG BARS (Fig Newtons)
==================================
Ingredients:
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
Pinch of salt
Fig Filling, see below
Fig filling:
1 (8oz) pkg. dried figs, stems removed, chopped (I put them through the
2/3 cup water blender.)
3 tablespoons lemon or orange juice
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
In a large bowl, beat together shortening, brown sugar, eggs and
vanilla until creamy. Add all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking
soda, baking powder, orange peel and salt, beating until blended.
Refrigerate dough 1 to 2 hours. Prepare fig Filling; set aside. To
bake cookies, preheat oven to 375F (190C). Grease baking sheets. On a
floured surface, roll dough into a 14-inch square. Cut dough into 4
equal strips, each 14 inches long and 3 1/2 inches wide.
Spoon 1/4 of Fig Filling in a 1 1/2 inch wide mound down center of each
strip. Using a long spatula, lift sides of each dough strip over
filling, overlapping slightly on top. Press edges together to seal.
Cut strips crosswise in half for ease in handling. Place, seam-side
down, 3 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Brush off any excess
flour. Cut each strip into 7 (1 inch) crosswise pieces, but do not
separate. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until puffed and firm to the
touch. Cool 5 to 10 minutes on baking sheets; then cut apart and
remove to racks to cool completely. Makes about 56 (2'' x 1'')
cookies.
FIG FILLING:
------------
In a medium saucepan, combine figs, water, lemon or orange juice and
granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring
occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer 5 to 10 minutes or until
thickened, stirring occasionally. Cool.
