In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

Gently fold in the chopped figs until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1-inch thick.
-
Using a sharp knife, cut the circle into 8 wedges.
-
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the scones are golden brown.

Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
