How to Make Brandied Fig Bundles
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Allow one sheet (14.1 oz) of puff pastry to thaw completely according to package directions (about 8-10 minutes).
- In a medium mixing bowl, mash 15 fresh figs (about 1 cup) with a fork until mostly smooth.
- Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of brandy to the mashed figs. Mix well to combine.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheet and cut into four 4-inch squares.
- Spoon a generous tablespoon of the fig mixture into the center of each puff pastry square.
- Fold each corner of the pastry square into the center, enclosing the fig filling. Pinch the corners firmly to seal, creating a square bundle.
- Lightly brush the bundles with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Let the bundles cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar and serve.
