Colleen's Butter Tarts image

I received this recipe from a friend many years ago. It has a custard-type filling that is not runny. These butter tarts are not overly sweet.

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) package pie crust pastry
1 cup corn syrup
⅔ cup brown sugar
3 eggs
⅓ cup melted butter
1 pinch salt
½ cup chopped pecans, or as needed

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Roll prepared pie crust pastry out on a lightly floured surface; cut into circles using a biscuit cutter. Press pastry circles into 12 individual size tart tins.
Beat corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and salt together in a mixing bowl until frothy, about 2 minutes.
Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons pecans into bottom of each tart shell; pour in egg mixture to fill shells 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until filling is bubbly and pastry is lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Allow tarts to cool for 10 minutes; remove from tart tins.
