Mini Pecan Pie#Fantasticalfood

This classic Mini Pecan Pie has all the flavors you love in a pecan pie. 

This pie crust is different from what I usually make, its buttery shortbread crust that tastes really good!

Though this is a decadent mini pecan pie it's too sweet and rich to eat it alone. It contains too many calories but all flavors you will love in a pecan pie. 

I baked this mini pecan pie 5-inch deep baking dish with a depth of 1.1/2 inch. For this pie you require a deep dish, since the filling may tend to spill while baking. 

When it just out of the oven it is puffed up but like a souffle, it deflates as it cools.
Ingredients
For the Shortbread Crust 

50 Grams Butter
80 Grams All Purpose Flour
1½ Tablespoons Corn Flour 
1½ Tablespoons Caster Sugar 
A Pinch of Salt
For the Filling 

¼ Cup Light Corn syrup
1 Egg 

¼ Cup Sugar
A Pinch Salt

1 Teaspoon Molasses ** see notes
1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter - softened
½  Teaspoon Vanilla essence
1/3 Cup Heaped Pecans

Method

For the Shortbread Crust 

In a bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. 

Add flour, cornstarch and salt,  mix until combined.  Press dough onto bottom of lightly greased 5-inch deep baking dish and refrigerator it for at least 15 to 20 minutes.

In the meantime preheat oven to 170°C. Bake 12-15 minutes or until light golden. Then let it cool completely. I baked this crust a day before, next day baked it with the filling.

For the Filling 

Mix corn syrup, egg, sugar, salt, butter and vanilla in a bowl using a spoon.   Stir in the pecans.  Pour filling  in the cooled shortbread crust. 

Bake on center rack of oven for 35 minutes.
Remove from oven and let pie cool on wire rack for a 3 hours.

Enjoy this as a wonderful dessert, its sweet, has a crunch because of the pecan and mostly of all a buttery crust.

yum yum... 

My Notes
Since  I,did not have dark corn syrup add the molasses. If you use dark corn syrup then do not add molasses.

Chicken Kiev-Serves Two#EattheWorld

In my recent visit to the Baltic Countries I, had the opportunity to taste the local food of these countries. It was a awesome experience.

The food in all these countries is more or less the same since they were all part of Russia, and has a strong Russian influence, of course, now they are independent.

One these dishes was Chicken Kiev in Ukraine,  which is a popular  cutlet made with chicken breast pounded and rolled around chilled garlic butter with herbs, then breaded and either fried or baked. 

The dish has traditionally been considered Ukrainian in origin since its name comes from Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. This Chicken Kiev recipe is so simple, comforting and makes a complete meal with an accompaniment of steamed veggies and Mashed Potatoes.

Serves Two 
Ingredients
25 Grams Butter softened
1 Big Garlic Clove- minced
¼ Teaspoon Salt or to taste
¼ Teaspoon Black or White pepper
1 Tablespoon Finely Chopped Flat leaf Parsley
1 Chicken Breast - cut into two from the center
Dried Bread Crumbs as required
¼ Cup All Purpose Flour
1 Large Egg
Oil for shallow frying
To Serve
Mashed Potato 
Steamed Vegetables

Method

Add butter, garlic and parsley in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix to combine. Spoon mixture into the center of plastic wrap. Roll up & twisting ends to seal. Roll on a board to make a long log. Freeze it until firm.

Using a sharp knife,cut chicken breast into two. In between two plastic sheets lightly flatten them. 

Pat them dry and season it with a pinch of salt and black pepper powder.

Remove plastic wrap from butter. 

Cut butter into slices.

Place butter slices into each chicken slice 

Roll it into a tight roll 

Wrap them in a plastic wrap and roll up & twisting ends to seal. Keep in it in the freezer for 20 ~ 30 minutes so that it retains the round shape and the butter hardens.

Place breadcrumbs on a large plate.

Place flour on a plate & season with a pinch of salt and pepper. 

Whisk egg in a shallow bowl.  Dredge each rolled piece of chicken in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg then coat in breadcrumbs. Repeat this process twice and again keep this in  freezer for 15 minutes. 

In the meantime pour oil into a small deep frying pan. Heat over medium low flame,  fry for 4 to 5 minutes each side or until golden.  

Serve with Mashed potato and steam Vegetables.
