Colleen's Butter Tarts

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.

Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Beat corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and salt together in a mixing bowl until frothy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons pecans into bottom of each tart shell; pour in egg mixture to fill shells 3/4 full.

Step 5

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.
