1/2cupsweet (or semi-sweet) wine(I use Emerald Riesling)
3-4cupsfigs(sliced into quarters)
1/2tspground cinnamon
Whipped cream(optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375° F (190° C). Use a medium cake pan or quiche dish.
Cut the stem end away from the tops of the figs; discard them and quarter the fruit. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the figs and set aside.
Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Beat the eggs; add 1/2 cup of sugar. Add the butter or margarine and the milk.
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until everything is combined. Pour the batter into the pan.
In a medium saucepan, boil the wine and the second 1/2 cup of sugar for 5 minutes. Add the figs; turn them over in the hot syrup and pour the mixture over the batter.
Bake 30 minutes.
Serve warm or at room temperature, with whipped cream if you wish.
