Mini pecan tassies are the ideal way to decorate your dessert table and serve up for the holidays. Cream butter and cream cheese. Add flours and flax and mix well. Make into 24 balls; place one ball in each cup of a mini tart pan. Use your fingers, a measuring teaspoon, or a tart tamper to press out into a tart shell.
For filling, in a small bowl, mix egg, brown sugar, butter, vanilla and salt until blended. Stir in 1/3 cup pecans; spoon into pastries. Sprinkle with remaining pecans. Bake 15-20 minutes or until edges are golden and filling is puffed.
Pecan tassies are considered cookies by some people, but they're basically mini pecan pies. A flaky crust is pressed into greased muffin cups, topped with traditional pecan pie filling, and baked in the oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is perfectly puffed.
Make Filling: Whisk together egg, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and bourbon until sugar is dissolved and mixture is homogenous. Remove muffin tray from freezer. Place 1 teaspoon of chopped pecans in each of the muffin cups. Pour the Filling over the pecans until it almost completely fills the pastry cups.
