My Mom has made these for years and it's always a favorite. **I have adjusted this recipe again on 11/24/11, as the filling was still making too much in relation to the dough **

2 - eggs, slightly beaten

How To Make miniature pecan pies

Step 1

Mix crust ingredients together. Form them into small balls. Using a mini-muffin pan, drop balls into muffin tins and then using your thumb, press down, creating indentations for the filling.

Step 2

Spoon about 1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon of finely chopped pecans into each miniature crust.
Step 3

Combine eggs, vanilla, karo syrup, butter, sugar, brown sugar and lemon flavor (all filling ingredients except the pecans). Pour filling mixture over pecans so that each crust is about 3/4 full.
Step 4

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool.
