Yield:

12 "butter" tarts

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup Becel® Unsalted Plant-Based Bricks
3 tablespoons iced water
2 teaspoons white vinegar, divided
½ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup corn syrup
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 egg
2 tablespoons Becel® Unsalted Plant-Based Bricks, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chopped pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease 12 nonstick muffin cups; set aside.

Step 2

Combine flour with salt in medium bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup Becel Unsalted Plant-Based Bricks with pastry blender or fingertips just until large crumbs begin to form. Whisk water with 1 teaspoon vinegar. Add just enough water mixture to flour mixture to form dough, while stirring flour mixture with fork. Shape into a ball, then cover with plastic wrap; flatten dough into a disc. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Whisk brown sugar, corn syrup, maple syrup, egg, 2 tablespoons melted Becel Unsalted Plant-Based Bricks, vanilla and remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar. Roll dough on lightly floured surface about 1/4-inch (0.5 cm) thick. Cut out 12 (4-inch/10 cm) circles, using a lightly floured glass or circle cutter. Press circles into prepared muffin cups. Fill cups evenly with pecans, then brown sugar mixture.

Step 4

Bake 10 minutes then reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake an additional 10 minutes or until deep golden. Let stand in pan 2 minutes, then remove to wire rack and cool completely.
