Although <strong>Pecan Tassies<\/strong> are often described as mini pecan pies, the <strong>shell is softer and more cakey than traditional pecan pie crust, and the filling isn\u2019t as sweet. Pecan Tassies<\/strong> originated in the American South in the early 20th century \u00a0(the name came from the Scots word tassie, meaning small cup or goblet).

You can use salted or unsalted butter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Brick-style cream cheese<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Cream cheese gives the tassies a delightful tang.<\/li>\n<li>Importantly, cream cheese makes the shells slightly cakey.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Substitute:<\/strong> You can use an equal amount of Neufch\u00e2tel cheese.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Salt<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Salt enhances the pastry base flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>All-purpose flour<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>All-purpose flour gives the pastry cases their structure.<\/li>\n<li>Because all-purpose flour has a protein content of 8 to 11%, it gives you tassie shells that have enough structure to stay together while still being tender.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Substitute:<\/strong> You can use an equal amount of 1:1 gluten-free baking mix, like my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerbolderbaking.com\/almond-flour-baking-mix\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Easy Almond Flour Baking Mix<\/a> or another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerbolderbaking.com\/best-gluten-free-flours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gluten-free flour<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For the Pecan Filling<\/h3>\n<h4>Egg yolks<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Egg yolks bind the filling and give it thickness, richness, and almost a custardy mouthfeel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Substitute:<\/strong> Instead of egg yolks, you can use a flaxseed substitute. <strong>For each egg yolk, mix 1 teaspoon of ground flaxseed with 1 tablespoon of water<\/strong>, and let it sit for <strong>5 minutes<\/strong> before adding to the filling.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerbolderbaking.com\/make-brown-sugar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dark brown sugar<\/a><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Dark brown sugar sweetens the pecan filling.<\/li>\n<li>Notably, dark brown sugar adds <strong>moisture<\/strong>, contributing to a thick, slightly gooey texture.<\/li>\n<li>Additionally, dark brown sugar gives the filling a delectable, <strong>rich, molasses, toffee-like flavor<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Substitute:<\/strong> If you prefer a lighter flavor, you can use the same amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerbolderbaking.com\/make-brown-sugar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">light brown sugar<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Maple syrup<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Maple syrup contributes to the sweetness and also brings notes of earthiness and a slight smokiness to the filling.<\/li>\n<li>Additionally, because it\u2019s a liquid sugar, <strong>maple syrup helps keep the filling soft.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Substitute:<\/strong> You can use an equal amount of golden syrup or honey (which will make the filling sweeter).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerbolderbaking.com\/homemade-butter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Butter<\/a><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Butter adds richness, body, and excellent flavor to the tassie filling.<\/li>\n<li>Additionally, using melted butter helps create a <strong>smooth and beautifully glossy filling<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Substitute:<\/strong> You can use coconut oil in place of butter.\n<ul>\n<li>Since oil is 100% fat, unlike butter, which contains some water, you use less coconut oil.
