Steps:
- Heat oven to 425°F. In large bowl, mix flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
- Divide pastry in half. Roll each half into 13-inch rounds. Using individual 4 1/2-inch foil tart pan as a guide and cutting 1/2 inch wider all the way around, cut each pastry round into 4 (5-inch) rounds. Fit pastry rounds in bottom and just up to top edge of 8 individual 4 1/2-inch foil tart pans. Place tart pans on large cookie sheet. Bake tart shells 3 to 4 minutes or until dry; cool.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the onions over a low heat for 20-25 mins or until well softened and lightly browned. Add the vinegar and cranberry sauce, and simmer for 5-10 mins more, stirring until almost all the liquid has disappeared. Leave to cool.
- Meanwhile, put the sweet potatoes in a bowl and toss with the remaining oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and the chilli flakes. Arrange on a baking tray and cook for 20 mins, turning halfway, until softened and lightly browned. Leave to cool.
- Reduce oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line two large baking trays with baking parchment and unroll the pastry sheets on top - trimming the edges neatly at this point will encourage a good rise. Leaving a 2cm gap around the edge, spread the onions over the pastry, then top with the sweet potatoes and goat's cheese. Brush the beaten egg around the border of the pastry and bake in the oven for 35-40 mins or until the pastry is golden and crisp, swapping the shelves after 20 mins.
- Scatter over the thyme, then cut each tart into quarters (or smaller pieces if serving more). Serve with a large leafy salad.

Steps:
- To make filling: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Prick potatoes. Place on baking sheet; bake about 40 minutes, or until soft. When cool enough to handle, peel and mash.
- Transfer mashed potatoes to an electric mixer; beat on low speed for 1 minute. Whisk together egg, cream, molasses, and vanilla. Add to potatoes; mix on low speed, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in remaining filling ingredients. Let stand until crusts are ready.
- To make the topping and crust: Begin by making pecan praline. Place 1/2 cup pecans on a large parchment-lined baking sheet. In a small heavy saucepan, combine granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons water. Cook over low heat until sugar dissolves. Cover and bring to a boil. Leave cover on until condensation washes down insides of pan. Uncover, adjust heat to medium, and cook, swirling pan occasionally, until sugar turns amber. Pour caramel over pecans; let cool about 1 hour. Chop praline into small pieces.
- Meanwhile, heat oven to 350 degrees. In a baking pan, toast remaining 3/4 cup pecans for about 7 minutes, turning once. Let cool completely. Transfer to a food processor, and process to a fine powder; add butter, brown sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon. Pulse until well combined.
- Set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture to use for topping. Divide the rest among 3-inch tart tins; press into tins. Refrigerate on a baking sheet for 30 minutes. Prick crusts with a fork, and bake 5 minutes.
- Transfer tart tins to a work surface, and divide sweet-potato filling evenly among them. Crumble reserved topping into small pieces between your fingers, and mix in half the chopped pecan praline. Sprinkle this topping over sweet-potato filling, avoiding edges of the crust. Place tarts on a baking sheet, transfer to oven, and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until tarts are puffed and golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool 15 to 20 minutes, then unmold and let cool to room temperature. Sprinkle remaining pecan praline over tarts, and serve.

Tips
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Prick the sweet potatoes before baking: This will help them to cook more evenly and prevent them from bursting.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: The best way to check is to insert a fork or toothpick into the center of the potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
- Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling: This will make them easier to work with and prevent them from breaking.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the sweet potatoes: This will help to create clean, even cuts.
- Be careful not to overfill the tartlet shells: Otherwise, the filling will spill over and make a mess.
- Bake the tartlets until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown: This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the tartlets cool slightly before serving: This will make them easier to handle and prevent them from falling apart.
