Figues albardaes

Figues albardaes is a traditional Valencian dessert originating from Castellón. It's usually made with a combination of dried figs, flour, yeast, water, sugar, and salt. The figs are cut in half and flattened. In a bowl, the yeast is dissolved in warm water, and flour is then added to the bowl and mixed until the batter becomes slightly thick. The batter is left to stand for about an hour, and the figs are then dipped in the batter and fried in hot oil until nicely golden. Once done, figues albardaes are rolled in sugar and enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
