- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Melt the butter in a 24cm ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat. Add the maple syrup, vinegar and most of the thyme and heat for 2 mins, or until thick and glossy. Remove from the heat and add the fig halves, cut-side down.
- Unroll the pastry onto a lightly floured surface and roll out a little to widen. Cut out a 26cm circle, then drape it over the figs, tucking in the edges around the filling. Prick the pastry with a fork, then bake for 25-30 mins until risen and golden.
- Leave in the pan for 1 min, then run a spatula around the edges and turn out onto a serving plate. Finish with a twist of black pepper, a few sprigs of the remaining thyme, and serve with a green salad, if you like.
- Tip: Use the remaining pastry to make a small batch of sausage rolls with this 3-ingredient recipe.
