Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pastry:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. You may not need all of the water.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
3. Prepare the Filling:

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs.
Add the granulated sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the pecan halves.
4. Roll Out the Pastry:

On a floured surface, roll out the pastry dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out circles of dough that will fit into your tart pans or muffin tins.
5. Fill the Tart Shells:

Gently press the pastry circles into greased tart pans or muffin tins.
Spoon the pecan filling into each tart shell, filling them about 2/3 full.
6. Bake:

Place the tart pans on a baking sheet to catch any spills and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the filling is set and the pastry is golden brown.
7. Cool and Serve:

Allow the pecan tarts to cool in the pans for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Optional: Drizzle with chocolate or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra decadence.
