Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
½ cup Becel® Unsalted Plant-Based Bricks
-
3 tablespoons iced water
-
2 teaspoons white vinegar, divided
-
½ cup light brown sugar
-
¼ cup corn syrup
-
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
-
1 egg
-
2 tablespoons Becel® Unsalted Plant-Based Bricks, melted
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½ cup chopped pecans
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease 12 nonstick muffin cups; set aside.
-
Combine flour with salt in medium bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup Becel Unsalted Plant-Based Bricks with pastry blender or fingertips just until large crumbs begin to form. Whisk water with 1 teaspoon vinegar. Add just enough water mixture to flour mixture to form dough, while stirring flour mixture with fork. Shape into a ball, then cover with plastic wrap; flatten dough into a disc. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
-
Whisk brown sugar, corn syrup, maple syrup, egg, 2 tablespoons melted Becel Unsalted Plant-Based Bricks, vanilla and remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar. Roll dough on lightly floured surface about 1/4-inch (0.5 cm) thick. Cut out 12 (4-inch/10 cm) circles, using a lightly floured glass or circle cutter. Press circles into prepared muffin cups. Fill cups evenly with pecans, then brown sugar mixture.
-
Bake 10 minutes then reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake an additional 10 minutes or until deep golden. Let stand in pan 2 minutes, then remove to wire rack and cool completely.
