Separate eggs. Beat egg whites until stiff. Add yolks, sugar, lemon juice, oil, and flour. Mix well and set aside to rest for a few minutes.
Heat traditional ferratelle iron over flame. Brush with oil. Add spoonful of dough and close iron, cooking for a few seconds on each side.
When the dough is browned, remove the wafer from the iron. Fill them like sandwich cookies with the figs or any other filling you like: custard, hazelnut cream, honey, or chocolate. They are also delicious without filling!
