Ingredients

• 210 grams all-purpose flour
• 115 grams unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 5 grams granulated sugar
• 1 gram salt
• 60 ml ice water
• 120 grams pecan halves (finely chopped)
• 80 ml honey
• 50 grams dark brown sugar
• 15 grams unsalted butter (melted)
• 5 ml vanilla extract
• 1 egg (large, beaten for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Cut in the cold, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually drizzle in the ice water, mixing with a fork until the dough begins to come together.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, form it into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans, honey, dark brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed and set aside.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 3mm (1/8 inch) thickness.

Step 8

Using a round cookie cutter or a drinking glass (about 8cm/3 inches in diameter), cut out circles from the dough. Re-roll scraps as needed.

Step 9

Place about 1-2 teaspoons of the pecan-honey filling in the center of each dough circle.

Step 10

Fold each circle in half to create a half-moon shape, gently pressing the edges together to seal. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges.

Step 11

Arrange the filled pies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.

Step 12

Brush the tops of the finger pies with the beaten egg for a glossy finish.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pies are golden brown.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
