Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degree F. For tart shells, beat butter and cream cheese in Classic Batter Bowl until well blended. Add flour; mix until a soft dough forms.

Using Small Scoop, shape dough into 10inch balls. Place balls of dough into ungreased cups of Deluxe Mini-Muffin Pan. Dip Mini-Tart Shaper in flour; press into dough with even pressure until dough rises slightly above rim of pan.

For filling, place butter in Small Batter Bowl; microwave on HIGH 30 seconds or until melted. Stir in brown sugar, egg, and vanilla. Finely chop pecans using Food Chopper; add to batter bowl and mix well.

Using Small Scoop, fill each tart shell with level scoop of filling (do not overfill).

Bake 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from oven; cool in pan 3 minutes.

Remove from pan to Stackable Cooling Rack; cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
