Ingredients

Pastry:

1 cup flour

1 1/2 tbsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp baking powder

2 tbsp shortening

4 - 5 tbsp ice water

Filling:

3 tbsp semisweet chocolate chips

3 tbsp pecans, chopped

2 1/2 tbsp sugar

3 1/2 tbsp light corn syrup

1 tbsp egg substitute

1 tbsp bourbon

1 tsp flour

1/2 tsp vanilla

dash salt

2 tsp bourbon (optional)

Directions

to prepare pastry, lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour 1 1/2 tbs sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, and the baking powder in a food processor; pulse 3 times. Addthe shortening; pulse 4 or 5 times or just unti combined. Place flour mixture in a bowl. Gradually sprinkle ice water over the flour mixture; toss until moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and gently knead 3 to 4 times. Press mixture into a 4 inch disk. Place between 2 sheets of plastic wrap, chill 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Roll the dough into an 11 inch circle, remove plastic. Cut dough into 18 circles, using a 2 1/2 inch cutter. (Reroll any of the remaining pieces of dough). Fit dough into mini nonstick muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Gently press dough into bottom and side of cups.

To prepare filling, divide chocolate and pecans evenly among muffin ups. Combine 2 1/2 tbsp sugar and the next 6 ingredients (through dash of salt) in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk. Divid sugar mixture evenly among cups. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes or until pastry is lightly brown and the filling is set. Run a knife aroun each tartlet; remove from pan. Lightly brush tartlets with 2 tsp bourbon, if desired.
