Southern Pecan Pie

Muffins


1/2 Cup all purpose flour 1 cup brown sugar packed (dark or light brown) 1 cup chopped pecans 2 large eggs 11 tbsp real butter melted, about 1 1/3 sticks

Preheat your oven to 350F. Place 9 cupcake paper liners into regular muffin pan and spray each of the liners with nonstick cooking spray. In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and pecans until mixed well. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until foamy and then add melted butter. Stir well. Combine the egg mixture with the flour mixture. Stir until moistened. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups. You will need to fill them to almost full. There is no leavening agent(like baking powder or baking soda) in these to make the rise. Bake for about 20-25 minutes. Around the 15 minute mark, pull them out and sprinkle with chopped pecans or place one pecan half on each one, then put them back in the oven. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
