ingredients

Pastry
1 ³⁄₄ cups flour
¹⁄₂ cup butter, softened
¹⁄₂ cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling
1 cup powdered sugar
¹⁄₂ cup butter
¹⁄₃ cup dark corn syrup
1 cup chopped pecans
36 pecan halves, for garnish

directions

Heat oven to 400*F.
Combine all pastry ingredients in a large bowl and mix with an electric mixer on medium speed until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press 1 tablespoons of the mixture into each well of 36 non-stick mini muffin cups, forming 1 3/4-2" shells.
Bake 7-10 minutes, until very lightly browned. Remove from oven; reduce oven temperature to 350*F.
Combine the powdered sugar, butter, and corn syrup in a 2-quart saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a full boil, 4-5 minutes.
Remove pan from heat; stir in the chopped pecans.
Spoon the filling into the baked shells and top each with a pecan half; bake for 5 minutes.
Cool for 20 minutes; remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.
