Dang, that's good. I normally make pecan pie full size when i get the craving but after trying your recipe, i wonder if I'll ever again wait for an hour while it cooks and then 2 hours while it sets and then a full day after that for it to be proper consistency. I mean, so much delay of gratification for what is essentially egg, syrup, nuts and butter. The thing that i like best about this was that they set up in so little time and had a fully developed flavor after short baking time. The only change i made was to sub 1/3 C of brown sugar with 3 tbsp of maple syrup and i added a scant tsp of vanilla extract. Anyway, thanks ever so much...your tarts are lovely.
