South Carolina Pecan Tartlets image

The spring of 2013 saw us down in Charleston, S.C., a stunning city, rich with history both sad and ecstatic, in a region that offers a tremendous bounty of fresh ingredients and regional flavors. We had the vague idea of cooking a holiday feast to celebrate the season - one that was grand and nondenominational - that would help banish memories of winter. These little pecan tarts helped a great deal. They're ideal for dinner parties, and reward the use of fresh Southern pecans.

Time 1h30m

Yield About 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups shelled pecans or walnuts
5 eggs
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
Pinch salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, melted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375. Toast the pecans on a baking sheet in the oven for about 8 minutes. Cool the pecans; coarsely chop half of them and leave the other half intact.
  • Beat the eggs with a mixer until they are foamy. Beat in the sugars, salt and butter. Warm this mixture in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is hot to the touch; do not boil. Stir in the vanilla extract and the pecans.
  • Spoon the mixture into a greased or nonstick 12-cup muffin tin; bake 20 minutes, until the mixture shakes like Jell-O but is still quite moist. Cool on a rack and serve warm or at room temperature.

These pecan tartlets were just okay. The crust was flaky, but the filling was a bit too runny. I think I would add more flour to the filling next time.

These pecan tartlets were a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making these again.

These pecan tartlets were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. The crust was flaky and the filling was rich and creamy. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.
