Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3-4 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup chopped pecans (toasted)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
- In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Add water gradually until dough holds together.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, and melted butter. Stir in chopped pecans.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface. Cut circles and press each into the mini muffin wells.
- Spoon the pecan mixture into each crust, filling just below the top.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until filling is set and crust is golden brown.
- Let cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve at room temperature or slightly warm, optionally topped with whipped cream.
Notes
- Chill dough before rolling for easier handling.
- Toast pecans for deeper flavor and added crunch.
- Use a cookie cutter or glass to cut even dough circles.
- Freeze baked pies for up to 2 months and reheat before serving.
