Creating the Maple, Fig and Pecan Self-Saucing Pudding is quite simple. Just follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish or ovenproof dish.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, maple syrup, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until just combined.
5. Add Figs and Pecans: Gently fold in the chopped fresh figs and pecans until evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the batter into the greased baking dish.
7. Add Boiling Water: Carefully pour the boiling water over the batter. Do not stir; this helps create the saucy texture.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is set and golden brown.
9. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
10. Serve: Dish out the pudding warm, drizzling with extra maple syrup if desired, and add a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream on top.
