They’re truly tremendous straightforward to make, they usually style so good I used to be even capable of put them into my daughter’s troop bake sale as a part of the gluten free choices. If you’re a pecan fan like I’m, these little beauties will hit the spot!
Notes: In addition to a kitchen scale, one of many few kitchen gadgets I extremely, extremely advocate is an efficient set of silicone muffin liners on your muffin tins. Keto baked items actually like to stay to pans, and people flimsy paper liners merely don’t lower it. My muffins and smaller treats at all times slide proper out of the silicone liners, each time and with zero bother. They’re additionally washable, so so long as you take care of them correctly you may proceed to make use of them for years. Regular-sized silicone liners can be found at WalMart, Target, and most grocery shops. The mini-liners is probably not available in shops, however are simply (and cheaply) acquired on Amazon.
You can use paper liners right here in the event you actually wish to, however in the event you do I like to recommend peeling them off when the baked tassies are nonetheless heat.
