ah, o.k., i see, thank you. It really looks like a separate baked bottom. At the next occasion i have to try this one. Looks too good. Hopefully i also get this kind of “bottomseperation”

James, there is no separate crust, but the bottom (which is the top during baking) has a layer of custard that is rather crumb-free, due to the crumbs settling to the bottom when the mixture is poured over the figs.

I am a little late with my post, but just seen this wonderful recipe. I was wondering what this bright bottom in the pictures might be. Did you use a separate baked pastry case ? Or will it just look that way after baking ? Because normally it would look either like the rest or be a little darker, but not brighter !? Thanks for explaining.

This post rocks, Susan. I’m so sorry about the cut, but I am so happy you shared this fig dessert. OMG–It’s sensational! I actually giggled out loud at the good news of the farmers’ market near the car. I can so relate. Get better soon!

I read myself, and guess I should clear it up a bit!
What I meant was, featuring a great dessert for a change is a good idea!! Up there it gives an impression that – for a change your dessert looks good – was not meant to sound like that!! So sorry:(

Susan, I liked the innovative write up! Especially the daughter lost key part – here it is always the husband who manages that part!! Take care of that finger – we want to see our breads regularly:). Oh! The dessert for a change is good too! Won’t be trying this as it is not vegan but looks really nice:)

Good news: I’m spending the afternoon picking figs!
Bad news: none… so that makes more good news!
I now know what I’ll be doing with some of those figs. Gorgeous.
Hope you heal rapidly.

Thanks Susan.
I can relate to your situation. Last spring I broke a finger in a very stupid manner. I have bread dough rising and when I got home from the hospital, I had two girlfriend’s that tried to do the shaping for me. It was a bit of a disaster.
Hope yours heals quickly.

I hope you get to feeling better really soon. I’ll admit I am waiting ever so impatiently (sigh) for updates on your lovely outdoor oven. Your recipes are inspiring, and the photos are gorgeous… beautiful.
