Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Pastry dough
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 3/4 cups pecan halves
Special equipment:
10- by 1-inch tart pan with a removable fluted bottom
pie weights or raw rice
Accompaniment: lightly whipped cream

Steps:

  • Make pastry dough as directed. Roll out dough into a 15-inch round on a lightly floured surface and fit into tart pan. Roll rolling pin over top of pan to trim dough flush with rim and lightly prick bottom all over with a fork. Chill 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake in middle of oven 20 minutes. Remove weights and foil and bake shell until pale golden, 6 to 10 minutes more. Cool in pan on a rack.
  • Cook sugar in a dry heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring slowly with a fork, until melted and pale golden. Cook caramel without stirring, swirling pan, until deep golden. Add corn syrup and simmer, stirring occasionally, until caramel is dissolved (it will harden before dissolving). Remove pan from heat and cool mixture until it stops bubbling.
  • Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt in a bowl. Whisk caramel mixture into eggs in a slow stream and whisk in butter, vanilla, and lemon juice until butter is melted. Spread pecans in bottom of tart shell and pour in filling, tapping down pecans to coat.
  • Bake tart in middle of oven until crust is golden and filling is puffed, 20 to 25 minutes, and cool in pan on a rack.

I've never made a pecan tart before, but this recipe was easy to follow and the tart turned out great! The crust was flaky and the filling was gooey and delicious. I will definitely be making this tart again.

I'm not a huge fan of pecan pie, but this tart was really good! The crust was flaky and the filling was gooey and sweet. I especially liked the addition of the chocolate chips. I would definitely make this tart again.

I tried making this pecan tart, but it didn't turn out very well. The crust was too thick and the filling was too runny. I think I need to practice more before I try making this tart again.

This pecan tart was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The crust was nice and flaky, and the filling was rich and creamy. I think I would try making it with less sugar next time.

This pecan tart was delicious! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was rich and decadent. I used a combination of dark and light brown sugar in the filling, which gave it a nice depth of flavor. I also added a pinch of salt to the fillin

This pecan tart was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I'm very disappointed because I was really looking forward to trying this tart.
