Pecan Tarts w/ Cream Cheese Crust

Recipe Introduction


Pecan Butter Tarts

Recipe from June Hostetler of Attica, Mich. Hostetler says the cream
cheese pastry gives it a good taste. "I make these each Christmas.
They freeze beautifully!"


1 3-ounce package cream cheese
1 stick butter (or margarine)
1 cup flour, sifted


Filling:

1 egg
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon soft butter (or margarine)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Dash salt
2/3 cup chopped pecans


Let a 3-ounce package of cream cheese and 1 stick of butter or
margarine soften to room temperature; then cream together and add 1
cup of sifted flour.


Shape into 24 1-inch balls. Place in mini-greased muffin tins and
shape the dough to the bottom and side of the cups.


For the filling: beat egg, add brown sugar, soft butter or margarine,
vanilla, salt and chopped pecans.


Beat together; fill each little cup 3/4 full and bake for 25 minutes
at 350 degrees. When cool remove from pans.


Makes 24 tarts.
