Method
Tap a step to mark it done.
Step 1: Pastry: Let the cream cheese and butter soften at room temperature. Blend, then stir in the flour.
Step 2: Chill about 1 hour.
Step 3: Shape into balls and place in tiny 1¾-inch muffin cups. Press the dough over the bottom and sides of each cup.
Step 4: Filling: Beat the egg, butter, vanilla, salt and brown sugar until smooth.
Step 5: Divide half the pecans among the cups. Add the egg mixture and top with the remaining pecans.
Step 6: Bake at 325°F for 25 minutes, or until the filling is set.
Step 7: Cool, then remove from the pans.
From the cook
Doubling the filling makes fuller cups.
What we changed or couldn’t read (2)
- "1 tsp. sugar" is listed but not used in the method; it may be a duplicate of the brown sugar.
- Butter for the filling is printed as "1 tsp."; the similar Pecan Gems recipe uses 1 Tbsp., so this may be a misprint.
