• 150g dried chopped figs
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 100 g butter
• ½ c firmly packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 c self-raising flour
• Pecans

Preheat the oven to 180C, and grease a muffin tin and set aside.

In a food processor, blend the figs and baking soda with ¾ cup of boiling water until combined and let it stand for about 5 mins.  Add the butter and sugar and process until the mixture is almost smooth. Fold in the lightly beaten eggs and flour and mix until just combined.

Spoon the mixture into the muffin tins and decorate with the pecans, and bake for about 20 mins or until a skewer comes out clean.

Serve with custard or icecream.
