Dried Fig or Black Plum Pastry

Cook the dried figs or black plums in water until they are soft

Let them cool down

Add salt to taste

Mix together all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and unsalted butter or margarine in a bowl until a dough forms

Heat the milk until it's warm, then let it cool down

Add the yeast mixture to the dough and mix well

Combine this mixture with the dough, along with the egg and vanilla extract, and knead very well

Divide into 4 parts

Unroll one part at a time on a floured surface, dust with confectioner's sugar, to form a square of 24 cm per side

Cut each square into 4 small squares of 6 cm

Place 1 tablespoon dried figs or black plums in the center of each square, fold over the opposite corners and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a gap of 5 cm between each pastry

Let it rest for 10 minutes

Bake in a moderate oven (170°C) for 20-25 minutes

Remove from the oven and immediately dust with confectioner's sugar
