- 4 Large ripe, fresh figs
- 80 g (2.8oz) Creme fraiche

- Make the flapjack mixture first by placing the sugar, unsalted butter and golden syrup in a small saucepan over a moderate heat, stirring continuously until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has combined.
- Mix the rolled oats and cinnamon together, then pour the butter mixture over and stir until combined.
- Put in the fridge until required.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4.
- Carefully make an x-shaped incision on the top of each fig, ensuring you slice only halfway down.
- Stuff the incisions with half of the flapjack mixture and place the stuffed figs on a baking tray.
- Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Roll the remaining flapjack mixture flat between two sheets of baking paper and cook for 5-8 minutes until crispy.
- Leave to cool slightly then cut into four pieces.
- To serve, place a quenelle of the creme fraiche on each of the cooled baked flapjacks.
