Tasses, After looking through every single pecan pie tassies and pecan tart recipe on Recipezaar, I chose your recipe because I wanted the "pecan pie" filling too. The filling was perfect and the shortbread flaky and buttery. I will use this recipe every Christmas holiday. I quadrapled the dough recipe but only doubled the filling. It worked out, but I made the pastry a little thick because it was so good! I can't wait for everyone to try them. Thank you for posting this wonderful recipe.

I used pre-made pastry in mini muffin tins to make these tassies. Served them at a bridal shower and everyone enjoyed these. I used a dark corn syrup. Thanks for sharing.
