Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 1 3 ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  3. For pecan filling, in a bowl beat egg, brown sugar and the 1 tablespoon melted butter until combined. Stir in pecans. Spoon about 1 heaping teaspoon of filling into each pastry-lined muffin cup.
