For Pecan Butter Tarts. Anyone have the recipe for Pecan Butter Tarts in the Mini Muffin Pan? It has butter, cream cheese and flour for the tart shells. It was in a Canadian S/B from 2000 or 2001 so of course that's too far back to find on CC. A host mentioned it and even read the date on the cover of the book....now can't FIND the book arggg!!!!


TIA,

Jodi
