How do you make pecan Tassies?

Pecan Tassies are a small, bite-sized pastry that is perfect for any occasion. The crust is made from a mix of flour, sugar, butter, and salt. The filling is a mixture of egg, brown sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Pecans are added to both the filling and the topping for an extra bit of flavor and texture.

To make the crust: In a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the flour, sugar, butter, and salt until well blended. If using your hands to mix everything together, be sure to work quickly so that the heat from your hands doesn’t melt the butter too much. Once everything is well blended (it should resemble wet sand), transfer it to a 9×13 inch baking pan and press it evenly into the bottom of the pan. Place it in the fridge or freezer while you prepare the filling.

To makethe filling: In a medium sized bowl whisk together egg , brown sugar , butter , vanilla extract ,and salt until smooth. Then fold in 1/3 cup chopped pecans. Spoon this mixture over pre-made crust. Sprinkle remaining chopped pecans on top.Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until edges are golden brown and center is slightly puffed up. Let cool completely before cutting into squares or bars.

How long do I bake pecan tarts?

Pecan tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. The key to making perfect pecan tarts is to bake them in a preheated oven for the correct amount of time. Depending on the size of your tarts, they should be baked for 30 to 35 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.

If you find that your tarts are not yet golden brown after 30 minutes, give them a few more minutes in the oven. However, be careful not to overbake them as this will cause the pastry to become dry and crumbly.
