Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Directions
- In a food processor, combine the flour, cold cubed butter, and granulated sugar. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the corn syrup and pulse again until the dough comes together. Press the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 12-cup muffin tin. Cut out circles with a round cookie cutter and press them into the muffin cups, forming tart shells.
- In a bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.
- Divide the chopped pecans evenly among the tart shells. Pour the butter mixture over the pecans, filling each shell about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Remove from the oven and let the tarts cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the honey butter tarts at room temperature and enjoy the rich and sweet flavors!
