Spiced Pumpkin Tarlets in Mini Muffin Pan?

[straitfan]

Has anyone successfully made these in the mini muffin pan? I know Sarah posted in an earlier thread about her disaster! Want to make them for my open house tomorrow but only have the 6 cup muffin pan. I would think that maybe using a shot glass as a cutter and baking for a shorter time would work. Any other ideas? Let me know!

Okay--Now I have successfully made these in the mini muffin pan!!!!! I used a shot glass for the cutter. I KNEW I buying those for my son's collection for 7 years now would come in handy some day! I baked the shells for 10 minutes. (Remember to prick them first--I forgot until about 5 minutes into it!) I reshaped them again with the tart tool as soon as they came out of the oven. I only did the one pan (used on crust--had to roll out the extra to get about 3 more out.) Of course I had enough filling left that I could have done another 24!. They were AWESOME!!!!!!!!

I have made these many times and they have always been a big hit! Haven't had any problems with them.

They are always on my list of recipes for Oct./Nov. choices.

I made these this weekend in the mini-muffin pan. I used the scalloped bread tube so that they came out with the cute edges. These are delicious!

Great idea...I was thinking about using the tube also. About how long did you leave then in?

 

[MicheleC]

I did put them in for 10 minutes. I couldn't get a whole 24 out of the one crust but did manage to get 21. Took these to a meeting I had and everyone loved them! I think the mini muffin pan is so much fun!! Everything comes out looking cute and you get a lot more mileage as you can just do bite size portions for tasting.

Where can I find the recipe for these? I love using my mini-muffin pan.

I guess I'm just not seeing it, but wouldn't the bread tube make the crusts REALLY tall in the mini-pan? Isn't that what they suggest for the regular size muffin cups?

Spiced Pumpkin Tartlets

1 package (15 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
1 can (15 ounces) solid pack pumpkin
2 cups thawed, frozen whipped topping
1 teaspoon Pantry Cinnamon Plus(TM) Spice Blend
1 package (3.4 ounces) cheesecake instant pudding and pie filling
Powdered sugar (optional)
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
1 small orange (optional)
Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Allow pie crusts to stand at room temperature 15 minutes. Roll 1 crust into a 12-inch circle using lightly floured Baker's Roller(TM). Using Scalloped Bread Tube, cut out 12 pastry pieces (9 from outer edge and 3 from center of pastry circle); press 1 into each cup of Stoneware Muffin Pan using Mini-Tart Shaper. Prick bottom of pastry with pastry tool. Bake 14-18 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes. Remove tart shells from pan to Stackable Cooling Rack; cool completely. Repeat with remaining crust to make 24 tart shells.

2. Meanwhile, combine pumpkin, whipped topping and spice blend in Classic Batter Bowl; whisk until smooth using Stainless Steel Whisk. Add pudding mix; whisk until smooth and thickened. Refrigerate until ready to use.

3. Lightly sprinkle tart shells with powdered sugar using Flour/Sugar Shaker, if desired. Attach open star tip to Easy Accent(R) Decorator; fill with pumpkin mixture. Pipe into tart shells. Chop pecans using Food Chopper; sprinkle over tartlets. Zest orange using Lemon Zester/Scorer; sprinkle zest over tartlets, if desired.

Regarding the question on using the bread tube for the tarts. They're really not that big once you push them down into the mini muffin pan. They do stick up over the edges which just means that much more to fill! They look really pretty with the edges and there is plenty of filling to fill them to the top! I'm sure you could fill at least 48 of them if not more with the one filling so it makes them very economical for large groups.

Are you referring to the mini muffin pan stoneware or the deluxe mini muffin pan?

TIA

I believe there is only the regular size 6-muffin or 12-muffin in stoneware.
