Steps:
- With an electric mixer, beat the 1/2 cup butter and the cream cheese until smooth. Add the flour and beat until fully combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 24-cup mini-muffin pan with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, brown sugar, vanilla and salt until smooth. Set aside.
- Shape the chilled dough into 24 balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Press each ball into a cup of the muffin pan, spreading evenly and up the sides, then spoon 1 teaspoon of the pecans into each muffin cup. Fill each cup with the egg mixture until evenly distributed, about 1 teaspoon in each. Bake until the filling is set, about 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, and then remove from the muffin pan.
Tips:
- Use high-quality butter for the best flavor. Unsalted butter is recommended so you can control the amount of salt in the recipe. - Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making it light and tender. - Use a pastry blender or food processor to mix the butter and flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make it tough. - Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven. - Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. - Cut out circles of dough using a cookie cutter. Place the circles in a mini muffin pan, pressing them into the bottom and up the sides. - Fill the tart shells with the pecan filling. - Bake the tassies for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges of the crust are golden brown. - Let the tassies cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.Conclusion:
Gluten-free pecan tassies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
