Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment. Divide the pastry into 6 pieces. Roll out each piece to the thickness of a £1 coin and cut into a 11-12cm round, using a cutter or saucer as a guide. Place on the baking sheet and mark 1cm in from the edge, taking care not to cut right through the pastry. Fork over the pastry inside the marked line.
- Slice each fig and arrange, overlapping, inside the marked line of the tartlets. Brush with the butter and sprinkle with icing sugar. Can now be chilled for up to 5 hrs. Bake for 18-20 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden on the edges.
- Warm the jelly in a small pan, brush over the tartlets, then dust with more icing sugar. Serve warm from the oven or at room temperature, with Pistachio ice cream (see 'Goes well with...') or crème fraîche.

Tips:
- To easily remove the phyllo dough from the pan, place the pan in the freezer for a few minutes before baking.
- To prevent the phyllo dough from becoming too dry, brush it with melted butter before baking.
- If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a muffin tin or ramekins instead.
- If you don't have any pistachios, you can substitute walnuts or almonds.
- If you don't have any fresh figs, you can use dried figs instead. Just be sure to soak them in warm water for a few minutes before using.
