Individual pecan pies

Title: Individual pecan pies
Categories: Desserts, Pies, Cakes
Yield: 6 pies

6 oz Plain flour
5 oz Melted butter
1 tb Icing (confectioners) sugar
1 tb Water
3 1/2 oz Pecan nuts (broken large)
2 Eggs (size 3/medium)
2 oz Dark brown soft sugar
5 oz Golden syrup (corn syrup)

Mix together the flour, icing sugar, water and 4 oz of
the melted butter. (You should kneed together for a
good mix).

Divide between 6 x 4 inch flan tins or small bun tins
and press up the edges (prick lightly with a fork to
reduce the amount the centre rises)

Place on a baking tray and blind bake in a preheated
oven at 190C/375F/gas mark 5 for 10 to 15 mins (until
golden brown)

Remove and divide the chopped pecans between the
pastry cases.

Whisk the eggs, then stir in the sugar, syrup and
remaining 1 oz melted butter. Beat well and spoon into
the pastry cases, filling almost to the top. (this
makes probably 50% TOO much mixture for me)

Return to the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until set and
golden.

Serve hot or cold with cream, creme fraishe or ice
cream.

Time: about an hour and a quarter for one batch.
