Yield Makes 8 (or 9) servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For cookie crust
4 sticks unsalted butter, diced
4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
For cookie crust
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons bourbon
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups pecan halves
Equipment: a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment; 9 (4 1/2-inch) fluted tart pans with removable bottoms

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Put a baking sheet on middle rack of oven and preheat to 375°F. Mix crust ingredients in mixer at low speed until a dough forms, 5 to 7 minutes. Press 1/3 cup dough onto bottom and up side of each tart pan, making sides slightly thicker. Chill.
  • Make filling:
  • Whisk together eggs, sugar, butter, corn syrups, bourbon, vanilla, and salt.
  • Divide pecans among tarts, then add filling. Bake on hot baking sheet in oven until filling is just set and crust is golden-brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on racks completely before removing sides of pans.

These tarts were a complete disaster. The filling curdled and the pecan topping burned. I will never be making these again.

These tarts were not what I expected. The filling was too runny and the pecan topping was too hard. I will not be making these again.

The tarts were a bit too crumbly, but the flavor was good. I think I would use a different type of flour next time.

These tarts were a bit too tart for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less lemon juice next time.

The tarts were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would add more butter to the crust next time.
