INGREDIENTS:
For polvarones:
1/2 cup lard
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
Zest of 1 orange
3 cups flour
1 cup ground almonds
For glaze:
6 dried figs
2 cups fresh orange juice
1/2 cup sugar
Zest of 3 oranges
Zest of 3 lemons
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
In a mixer, beat lard and butter to light ribbons, about 4 minutes. Add eggs
and orange zest and blend well, about 1 minute. Add flour and almonds and
just mix through, 1 to 2 minutes. Place on floured work surface and roll
to 1inch thick. Using a round pastry cutter, cut cookies 2 1/2 inches in
diameter. Grease a baking sheet and place cookies on sheet. Place in oven
and bake until light golden brown, about 20 to 22 minutes. Remove and cool
on rack.
Meanwhile, peel and stem figs and place flesh in small sauce pan with orange
juice and sugar. Reduce by 50 percent over medium heat, about 6 to 7 minutes.
Blend until smooth with submersion blender, adding more juice if necessary
to achieve molasseslike texture. Brush cookies with reduced orange juice
mixture, sprinkle with zest, dust with powdered sugar and serve.
