Pecan Tassies
RECIPE COURTESY OF MICHAEL SYMON
Level: Easy
Total: 4 hr 30 min (includes chilling time)
Active: 30 min
Yield: 2 dozen

Ingredients

Dough:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for the tamper

Filling:

1 large egg
3/4 cups light brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
Pinch kosher salt
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Directions

Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.

For the dough: Add the butter and cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream together until smooth and combined, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix in the flour until just combined. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

When the dough is cold and firm, portion it into 2 dozen balls. Add each ball to a tassie pan or a mini muffin pan and, using a tamper dipped in flour, press the dough so that it forms a cup. Refrigerate the dough cups for 30 minutes.

To make the filling, cream the egg, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, allspice, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the filling to a liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.

Sprinkle the pecans amongst the refrigerated dough cups. Pour the filling evenly over the pecans.

Place over indirect heat and bake at 350 degrees F until golden brown and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely before lightly dusting with confectioners' sugar. Enjoy!

(Alternatively, you can bake the pecan tassies in a 350 degrees F oven for 20 to 25 minutes.)
