Back to list

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup pecans coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 dash salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Mix all filling ingredients together well
  • Using a teaspoon
  • carefully distribute filling mixture into pastry-lined muffin cups
  • Fill each pastry cup 3/4s of the way full
  • The amount needed does vary because there is no standard to the size of mini-muffin cups mine are just about the smallest Ive seen and I use about a 3/4 tsp of filling per tassie
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes
  • Immediately
  • and very carefully using the tip of a pointed knife
  • gently knudge out each tassie out of its cup and transfer to a rack to cool
  • If they cool in the pan too long
  • they are more difficult to remove
  • Your first couple may break those are the ones I eat on the spot- the rewards of making them
  • but you will soon learn just the right move to remove them perfectly
