Ingredients

   Pastry

• 120 grams butter (approximately 4-1/4 ounces)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup icing sugar (powdered or confectioners' sugar)

   Filling

• Broken pieces of pecans
• 60 grams butter (approximately 2-1/8 ounces)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg

Make the pastry in the food processor with the butter, flour and icing sugar. Roll into small balls and press into small muffin tins to form a case. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Fill with broken pieces of pecans, then melt the 60 grams of butter. Mix into that the brown sugar and egg. Cover the pecans with the mixture then bake.
