How To Make butter pecan tartlets

1
TART SHELLS: Combine flour, softened butter, sugar, egg and almond extract in bowl. Beat at medium speed, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (2 to 3 minutes). Press 1 tablespoon mixture into each ungreased cup of mini muffin pans to form 36 shells. Bake at 400 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes or until very lightly browned. Remove from oven.

Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Combine all filling ingredients except chopped pecans in 2 quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes or until mixture comes to a full boil. Remove from heat; stir in chopped pecans. Spoon filling into baked shells. Can top with pecan half, if desired. Bake 5 minutes. Cool 20 minutes in pans; remove to cooling rack.
