We have a fabulous fig tree, it produces just enough fruit to all of the sudden have a LOT of figs in the house, but not enough to start putting up pots of jam. After the initial joy of laying under the tree and biting into a sun warmed fig wears off, I grill them, I roast them we eat them on toast with ricotta and in salads, with honey & yoghurt. <br /> <br />Last night I made Fig Ice cream with Creme Fraiche ( I'd give you the recipe but honestly it didn't come out the way I wanted it to, not an epic fail but not Food52 worthy either) and I wanted something cake-y yet quick to go with. I thought of a dutch baby, but I wanted to play around a bit....I had some 00 flour, some olive oil.. and it just didn't seem real Dutch, it was more of an Italian Baby or a Bambino, The Bambino... with fresh figs & fig ice cream.
