1 large egg yolk
-
1–2 tbsp cold water
For the filling:

½ cup light corn syrup
-
½ cup packed brown sugar
-
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
-
1 large egg
-
1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Prepare the crust:
In a food processor, pulse flour, powdered sugar, and cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk and 1 tbsp cold water; pulse until dough forms. Add more water if needed. Wrap dough in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
3. Form tart shells:
Roll out chilled dough on a floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness. Cut dough into small circles to fit a mini muffin tin. Press dough circles into the tin to form tart shells.
4. Prepare filling:
In a bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir in chopped Sunbest Natural Pecans
5. Fill and bake:
Spoon filling into tart shells, filling each almost to the top. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until filling is set and crust is golden.
6. Cool:
Allow tarts to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
