These tasty, pecan-filled mini pies are great for the holidays or an easy, elegant dessert anytime. The use of light corn syrup lets the pecan goodness shine through, rather than overwhelming with sugary sweetness. Be careful when eating these - if you get some of the filling on your face, your tongue may beat you to death trying to get to it! Try serving warm with vanilla ice cream. Serve warm or cool and place in airtight containers up to 1 week.

1 cup white sugar
3 eggs, beaten
½ cup light corn syrup

2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
18 (3 inch) ready-to-bake pie shells

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

For best taste, use butter rather than margarine and vanilla extract rather than vanilla flavoring.
