Pecan Tartlets

 

Shell:

• 1/2 C butter

• 1/2 C sugar

• 1 egg

• 1 tsp. almond extract

• 1-3/4 C flour

Mix the butter and sugar together in a bowl; add the egg and almond extract. Mix in flour. Divide the dough into twenty-four equal pieces. Press each piece into the bottom and up the sides of a mini-muffin pan. Bake at 350-degrees F for ten minutes or until lightly brown.

 

Filling:

• 1 C confectioners' sugar

• 1/3 C corn syrup

• 1/2 C butter

• 1 C chopped pecans (plus extra to top)

Mix the ingredients in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil and cook for one minute. Fill the mini-muffin shells, and top each with chopped pecans. Bake in a 350-degree F oven for five minutes. Cool in the pan for about one minute; then remove tarts from the pan and cool on a rack.

 

Yield: Twenty-four mini-muffin-sized pecan tartlets.
