Well they say pie fixes everything, but I was told Sunday that my tartlets were life-changing! I simply responded, "I know." Flaky crust, sugary filling, mingling the flavors of chewy, crispy cranberry pecan goodness. Yes my friends, eat with care these tartlets may change your life....
Cranberry-Pecan Tarts
Combine 2/3 cup shortening (butter flavored Crisco if you're classy, pinch of salt and 1 1/2 cup flour. Fork it until crumbly. Add 2 T icy water to form pie crust.
*This may all be substituted for pre-made crust.
Roll out crust and cut 2.5 inch circles with a little cutter and place in muffin tins. Be sure to grease your tins or use muffin sleeves, these devils are hard to get out.
Sprinkle chopped pecans and chopped crasins (or real cranberries if your feeling saucy) into the bottom of the muffins, about a Tablespoons worth.
Combine 2 eggs, 1 tsp of vanilla, and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. Mix til foamy (Shake it shake it mama!!)
Add 1/2 cup of corn syrup and 2 Tbl of melted better. Stir it all together.
Pour into muffin cups and bake for about 20 minutes at 350 until poofy!!
Let cool, remove, eat and prepare to be changed....
