- Roll out the pastry and cut eight 5-inch circles. Gently place these pastry circles into the prepared tart tins, forming the foundation for your delicious pecan tarts.
The Sweet Symphony: 3. In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, beaten eggs, dark corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until all the ingredients come together in a sweet symphony of flavors.
- Stir in the chopped pecans, infusing the filling with their rich, nutty essence. This is where the pecan tarts truly come to life.
Baking Elegance: 5. Spoon the luscious pecan filling into each pastry-lined tart tin, ensuring they are filled to about 3/4 full. Each tart is a masterpiece waiting to be baked.
