TASTY TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2022 — PECAN TARTS
My mother taught me these – she used to make them for almost every catering occasion she was hired for. They are delicious – little mini pecan pies – and finger foods. I bet you can’t eat just one – they are that good. Simple to make, just takes a little time, and does need a small “muffin” pan.
Excellent for occasions or holidays. You’ll be asked to make these many, many times.
PECAN TARTS
1 3-ounce package cream cheese
1 cup sifted flour
½ cup margarine
Soften cream cheese, blend with flour and margarine. Chill about 1 hour. Use small tart / ”muffin” pans.
Take a piece of dough about the size of a walnut and press into each cup of the pan.
Filling:
1 egg
¾ cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Combine all together. Fill each tartlet cup. Do NOT fill to the top. They puff up a little and can run over. Top each with chopped pecans.
Bake in a preheated 325 deg F oven for about 25 minutes.
Let cool and remove from pans.
ENJOY!
CHEF’S NOTES:
I told you these were simple. Takes a little time to press into the cups, and BE SURE TO DOUBLE THE RECIPE.
They will go quick. So delicious!
Bon Appetite’ with Love,
