Pecan Tartlets

PECAN TARTLETS

For anyone who likes pecan pie, these are a special treat. They are a wonderful dessert for any occasion. They could be considered a fancy dessert, but they do not require a great deal of talent or skill to produce.

Note: This recipe requires something called a "mini muffin tin".

Pastry:
3 ounces softened cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour

Mix the above ingredients together; then cover and refrigerate the dough for an hour or so. This will make the dough a little easier to handle.

Preheat oven to 325ยบ, and shape the chilled pastry dough into 1-inch balls. Press these into the mini muffin tins on the bottom and sides of each depression.

Filling:
1 egg
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of salt

Beat the egg; then stir in the rest of the ingredients. Spoon the filling into the shells and bake the tartlets for 25 minutes. This recipe will make about 18 tartlets.



The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning.
