How to Make Pecan Tassies
- Preheat oven to 325. Mix together the butter and cream cheese in a small bowl or food processor.
- Add the flour and blend thoroughly.
- Wrap all 30 balls together in plastic wrap and chill slightly.
- Place each ball in a tiny ungreased fluted tart pan or muffin cup.
- Line the pans by pressing the dough with your fingertips against the bottoms and sides.
- For the filling, place half the pecans in the dough-lined pan.
- Beat together the egg, sugar, butter, vanilla and salt until all lumps are gone.
- Pour the egg mixture onto the pecan topped dough.
- Dot with the remaining pecans.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the filling is set.
- Cool 5 minutes on a rack and remove from the pans before they are cool, as the caramel will set.
- These tiny tarts freeze easily.
