Preparation:
Prepare Filling.
In a saucepan, combine fig filling ingredients. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Cool completely.
Heat oven to 400°. Roll dough about 1/16-inch thick on a floured surface. Cut into 3-inch rounds or squares. Spoon about 1 teaspoon fig filling onto one side of each circle leaving enough of an edge to seal. Fold dough over filling; pinch edges to seal. Place cookies about 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake until lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately remove from baking sheet. Makes about 4 1/2 dozen fig turnover cookies.
*If using self-rising flour, omit salt and baking soda.
