Step-by-Step Instructions for Mini Pecan Pies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray two 12-cup muffin tins with non-stick spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and brown sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumbly crust mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup, then bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, dark corn syrup, granulated sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Fold in the chopped pecans.
- Fill each baked crust with the pecan filling, then reduce the oven temperature to 275°F (135°C) and bake for another 30 minutes.
- Remove the pies from the oven and allow to cool in the tins for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
Ensure your butter is cold for the best crust texture; monitor baking closely to avoid overbaking.
