Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Roll prepared pie crust pastry out on a lightly floured surface, cut into circles using a biscuit cutter. Press pastry circles into 12 individual size tart tins.

  3. Beat corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and salt together in a mixing bowl until frothy, about 2 minutes.

  4. Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons pecans into bottom of each tart shell, pour in egg mixture to fill shells 3/4 full.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until filling is bubbly and pastry is lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Allow tarts to cool for 10 minutes, remove from tart tins.

Recipe Yield

12 3-inch tarts

Recipe Note

I received this recipe from a friend many years ago. It has a custard-type filling that is not runny. These butter tarts are not overly sweet.
