Pecan Pie Tarts

 

 

 

My really good friend, Tammy, made these cute little pecan pie tarts. She said they are delicious and taste just like pecan pie. I think my husband and brother-in-law would really, really like these gems.

1 stick butter

1 c all purpose flour

Spray small muffin pan and press 1 dough ball into each muffin cup. Add about 1 teaspoon filling into each. Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
