• Add in butter and pulse until dough resembles coarse meal.
• Slowly pour in ice water through the feed tube one tablespoon at a time as needed, pulsing, until the dough comes together.
• Remove from processor bowl onto clean work surface sprinkled with flour. Form dough into a ball and divide evenly into 24 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and evenly press into each cup, until the bottom is covered.
• Bake 15 to 18 minutes, until the crusts are very golden, but not overly brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• In medium bowl, mix together the margarine and cream cheese until well blended. Beat in flour, 1 cup at a time, until the mixture forms a smooth dough. Chill the dough while making the filling.
• In another bowl, mix the eggs, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the pecans.
• Roll into small balls, and press slightly into the bottoms and sides of greased tart pans or mini muffin pans making sure to put some of the dough over the lip of the cup. Use a spoon to fill each of the crusts 2/3 full with the filling. It will overflow if you fill too full.
• Bake for 15-18 minutes in oven, until shell is lightly browned, and filling has puffed up. Cool, and carefully remove from pan.

Steps:

• For pastry, in a bowl combine 1 c flour baking powder and salt. In a mixing bowl combine the 1/2 c butter cream cheese and 2 tsp sugar. Mix until well blended, stir in the flour mixture, press firmly into a ball with hands. Divide in half. Set aside 1 half. On a lightly floured surface roll out dough to a 1/8 inch thickness. Lightly spray 2 twelve cup mufin pans with nonstick spray. Cut out 12 2 1/4 inch rounds, I suggest using a cookie cutter or biscuit cutter. Press the rounds evenly into the bottoms and sides of the muffin pan cups. Repeat with remaining dough. Then refridgerate about 10 to 15 minute.
• Meanwhile , in a medium bowl beat the eggs slightly. Stir in the granulated sugar, corn syrup, bourbon, melted butter, and vanilla until blended. Spoon a heaping teaspoonfull of chopped pecans into each pastry lined cup. Top with the corn syrup mixture. Be careful not to put too much, if the cornsyrup mixture goes above the pastry it can stick and be difficult to remove after baking. Bake at 350 degrees for 20- 25 min, until lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool , and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
• Enjoy!
