Tea time tassies
Tea
Like baby pecan pies! Except with walnuts! This recipe was given to me on my 12th birthday by Gretchen Payne, a lovely neighbor who was always baking and handing out delicious treats. She knew how much I loved her Tea Time Tassies so when she presented me with an egg carton filled with them *and* the recipe, I thought I'd died and gone to Heaven. She, her husband Padgett and daughter Medora would hold a Twelfth Night party every year, and while the grownups would drink cup after cup of Wassail, I would park myself near the cookie trays, inhaling Tea Time Tassies, one after another, until I was practically sick. Good times! Traditionally these are made with walnuts, but pecans work just as well (and really highlight the Tassies' pecan pie-ness.) <br /> <br />NOTE: You will need one or two mini-muffin pans for these.
