Directions:DOUGH:
Let butter and cheese soften to room temperature, then mix well. Add flour and mix to a soft dough.
Chill at least an hour or overnight. Pinch off about 24 balls of dough (about a heaping Tbs), roll in your hand until rounded, and place in a small (mini) size prepared muffin pan. Press ball to line bottom and sides of pan with your fingers or a "Tart Tool" dipped in flour. (Well worth the price at a kitchen store). Dip the Tart Tool in flour and push down, turning slightly pressing dough into muffin pan section..
PECAN FILLING:
Mix all ingredients well. Fill tarts 3/4 full. bake at 350º for 15 minutes and then reduce temperature to 250º and bake for 30 minutes until lightly brown. Let cool completely before removing from the pan. I use a small knife just enough to loosen them from the sides of the pan before removing. You may dust tops with powdered sugar when cool. |

Notes: Traditional Family Recipe This recipe originally came off a wooden ROWOCO Tart Tamper package and is the same recipe Jenola used. The recipe says you are supposed to get 36 tassies but I was never able to get that many. These little tassies are finger food size so no utensils are needed. They are almost as good as a piece of pecan pie without the plate and fork. and everybody loves them.
Love to all, Mimi
