1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 lb fresh fig, stems trimmed, halved lengthwise (or quartered, if large)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°; generously butter a 10-inch pie plate; sprinkle evenly with 1 tablespoon sugar.
In a large measuring cup or a bowl with a pouring spout, whisk the milk, cream, eggs, and vanilla together until well blended.
In another bowl, sift the flour, ¼ cup sugar, and salt; gradually whisk the milk mixture into the flour mixture until fairly smooth.
Pour the batter through a strainer into the prepared pie plate; pressing down any lumps of flour in the strainer to dissolve them.
Arrange the figs, cut side up, on top of the batter; dot the surface with the pieces of butter.
Bake 50-55 minutes until the edges are puffed and golden and cooked in the center.
Transfer dish to a wire rack; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar while still warm.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
