Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for fig and hazelnut tart.

List ingredients for the pastry base: butter, icing sugar, egg yolk, white bread flour, and salt.

List ingredients for the filling: more butter, icing sugar, vanilla paste, egg, figs, hazelnuts, and honey.

Explain using whole hazelnuts instead of ground hazelnuts and demonstrate how to grind them using a NutriBullet, mentioning to chill the nuts beforehand to prevent them from turning into butter.

Prepare the pastry by combining flour, icing sugar, ground hazelnuts, and salt in a large bowl, ensuring no lumps in the icing sugar.

Add butter to the dry mix and crumble until it has a sandy texture.

Add the egg yolk and mix until cohesive, then chill the pastry for 45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) fan or 180°C (355°F) conventional.

Prepare the tart tin by brushing it with softened butter and dusting it with flour.

Roll out the chilled pastry on nonstick baking paper, fixing any cracks as needed, and transfer it to the tart tin.

Blind bake the pastry for 20 minutes with baking paper and weights, then remove the weights and bake for an additional 10 minutes after trimming the edges.

Prepare the filling by mixing icing sugar, vanilla, and butter until smooth, then whisk in the eggs and ground hazelnuts.

Fill the baked pastry shell with the filling immediately after baking, without cooling it down.
