Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mini Pecan Pies.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for delicious mini pecan pies.
Step 2
Next, grab your food processor and pulse the pecans until they’re coarsely chopped, releasing their nutty aroma that will make your kitchen feel inviting.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, beaten eggs, light corn syrup, dark corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Stir everything together until it’s well blended, then gently fold in those delightful chopped pecans, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to fill your mini pie shells! Spoon about 1/4 cup of the pecan mixture into each shell, making sure to fill them generously for that perfect bite.
Step 6
For easy handling, place the filled pie shells on a baking sheet.
Step 7
Slide them into your preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the mini pies are beautifully browned and set, filling your home with a mouthwatering scent.
Step 8
Once they’re done, you can serve them warm for a delightful treat, or let them cool before storing in airtight containers, where they’ll stay fresh for up to a week.
Step 9
Enjoy these little bites of heaven with family and friends, and watch them disappear in no time!.
