Categories     dessert

Time 4h30m

Yield 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for the tamper
1 large egg
3/4 cups light brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
Pinch kosher salt
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
  • For the dough: Add the butter and cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream together until smooth and combined, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix in the flour until just combined. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • When the dough is cold and firm, portion it into 2 dozen balls. Add each ball to a tassie pan or a mini muffin pan and, using a tamper dipped in flour, press the dough so that it forms a cup. Refrigerate the dough cups for 30 minutes.
  • To make the filling, cream the egg, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, allspice, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the filling to a liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.
  • Sprinkle the pecans amongst the refrigerated dough cups. Pour the filling evenly over the pecans.
  • Place over indirect heat and bake at 350 degrees F until golden brown and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely before lightly dusting with confectioners' sugar. Enjoy!
  • (Alternatively, you can bake the pecan tassies in a 350 degrees F oven for 20 to 25 minutes.)

PECAN TASSIES



Pecan tassies image

These are a favourite with American families and make a great alternative to mince pies

Provided by Emma Lewis

Categories     Afternoon tea, Treat

Time 40m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

50g pecans
50g full-fat soft cheese
50g butter , softened
50g plain flour , plus extra for dusting
85g pecans
1 egg yolk
50g light brown sugar
2 tbsp maple syrup
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp butter , melted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. To make the pastry, whizz the pecans in a food processor until finely ground, then pulse in the remaining ingredients with a pinch of salt until the dough just comes together. Lightly flour your hands to prevent sticking, then roll the dough into 12 small balls. Use your fingers to gently press them into the bottom and up the sides of a 12-hole mini muffin tin. Chill in the fridge while you make the filling.
  • Toast the pecans in a dry frying pan for 3-5 mins until lightly toasted and smelling aromatic. Cool a little, reserve 12 of them, then roughly chop the rest. Whisk the remaining ingredients with a pinch of salt, then stir in the chopped pecans.
  • Bake the pastry cases for 5 mins, then remove from the oven. If the pastry has puffed up a little, gently press it down with a teaspoon or your fingers. Spoon 1-2 tsps of the filling into each of the pastry cases, then top each with a whole pecan. Bake for 15-20 mins or until the crust turns golden and the filling is set. Leave to cool a little in the tin. Eat warm on their own, or with some cream whipped up with maple syrup.

Tips:

  • Use room-temperature ingredients: This will help your ingredients mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cookie.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough cookie. Mix only until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: The centers of the cookies should still be slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling them: This will help prevent the filling from melting.
