Directions:
Directions:
Press dough into shells. Fill with 1 tbsp chopped pecans and filling. Bake at 325º degrees for 30 minutes. Makes 12 tarts.

Note: I think this makes more filling than tarts. If so, make a second batch of crust. I have two different recipes for this with different cooking times (325º for 30 minutes and 375º for 15 minutes).Suggest using 325º or 350º and watch closely. They are done with the crust browns on the edges.

Personal Notes:
This recipe came from Mrs. Cromwell Cleveland, wife of the minster at the church attended by Harry, Bertha and Frances Richardson. Aunt Frances made these tarts for special family occasions, including weddings and baptisms.
