What will happen to my Pecan tassies if I use too much butter?
When I was making Pecan tassies, I read the recipe wrong and put a stick of butter in for the filling instead of 2 tablespoons. There are two eggs, 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, vanilla extract. Will it turn out with that much butter?
Best Answer
I'm assuming your stick of butter is 8 tablespoons, right? So you used four times as much butter as the recipe calls for, which is probably enough to make it into a buttery mess.
I think your two best options are: 1) increase all other ingredients by the same amount and make a lot of tassies, or 2) start over.

Why do my Pecan Tassies stick to the pan?
Why did my pecan tassies stick to the pan? If you've overfilled the pastry, even by a little bit, it will bubble up in the oven. Once the syrupy pecan filling starts to harden, it will stick to the sides of the pan like glue. So take that as a warning and fill carefully.Can you freeze nut Tassies?
