How to Make Pecan Tassies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles.
- Press the dough circles into mini muffin tins.
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine pecans, brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Mix well until combined.
- Fill each pastry crust with about 1 tablespoon of the pecan filling.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool completely in the muffin tin before serving. Enjoy!
