  • 1 vanilla bean, scraped

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for decorating

  • 1 egg

  • 1 egg white

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

  • 1 tablespoon brandy

  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest

  • 8 fresh figs

  • cooking spray

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray four 3 3/4 inch (9.5 centimeter) tart pans with cooking spray.

  2. In food processor, process nuts and vanilla bean to a fine texture. Sift flour and confectioner's sugar together, and add to nuts; pulse to combine.
