Pecan Pie Tarts
- 3 jumbo eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup pecans, chopped small (more or less)
- 3 tablespoons butter (add pinch of salt if using unsalted butter)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla (yes, tablespoon)
- 15 -16 tart shells (find these in the freezer section)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt the butter in microwave.
- Place the frozen tart shells on a cookie sheet, sides touching.
- Chop your pecans (I use our mini food processor) and put a HEAPING tablespoon of chopped pecans into each tart shell, so that they come about halfway up the shell.
- Beat eggs in bowl.
- Gradually add in the sugar, flour and syrup, mixing well.
- Add the melted butter and vanilla and mix in well.
- Using tablespoon or small gravy ladle, spoon egg mixture over pecans in tart shells.
- Bake in preheated oven 40-45 minutes or until crust is browned.
- Tops will rise during cooking but will fall a little when cooling.
- When they are cooled a little, remove the tins from the tart shells (hold upside down in one hand and allow the tart to fall into the other hand - othewise, they may stick to the tins).
- If not using right away, when cooled these can be wrapped in foil or plastic wrap and frozen.
- They may be eaten right from the freezer or refrigerator, or reheated a tad in the microwave for those who prefer them warm.
