Wash the figs and set them aside.
After two hours, remove the shortcrust pastry and leave it to warm for a few minutes before rolling it out. Place it on baking paper and roll it into a circle with a diameter of 11-12 inches.
4
Spread the preserve in the center of the dough.
5
Cut the figs into quarters and place them on top, leaving 1.5 to 2 inches around the edge to fold on top of the fruit.
6
Dust the figs with sugar. Fold the edge of the galette over the figs.
7
Put the fig galette with the baking paper on an oven tray and bake for 50-55 minutes at 370ºF, with heat from above and below, until the pastry is golden.

After this time, leave to cool. The galette is ready and perfect for serving with tea.
