Ingredients

1 cup water
3 cups dried figs
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt

Directions

Soak figs in water for 1 hour. In a small saucepan, combine fig mixture with sugar and cook over medium heat until thick and stewy. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Beat in milk and vanilla until smooth. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Divide dough into two pieces and knead each piece about 5 or 6 times. On a well-floured surface, roll dough out to 1/4-inch thickness. Line the prepared pan with one piece of dough. Spread fig mixture over it, then cover with other piece of dough.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Cool and cut into 20 squares.
