Figgy Duff Recipe - Authentic Canadian Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup dried figs (chopped)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Fig Mixture

    In a bowl, combine the chopped dried figs, raisins, and water. Let them soak for about 30 minutes.

    Soaking helps to soften the fruits and enhance their flavor.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

    Sifting the flour can help create a lighter texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

    Make sure the butter is not too hot to avoid curdling the milk.
  4. Combine All Ingredients

    Add the soaked fig mixture to the flour mixture, then pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.

    Do not overmix the batter to keep it fluffy.
  5. Prepare to Bake

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

    Proper greasing prevents sticking and ensures even baking.
  6. Bake the Figgy Duff

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Check for doneness a few minutes early to avoid overbaking.
  7. Cool and Serve

    Let the Figgy Duff cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.

    Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat.
