For an even richer flavor, consider browning the butter for the filling before melting it. This adds a nutty depth to the pecan mixture. Toasting the pecans before adding them to the filling enhances their flavor and provides a satisfying crunch. If the tart shells puff up during baking, gently press them down with the back of a spoon or a tart tamper halfway through the baking time. These tarts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For a festive touch, dust the cooled tarts with powdered sugar before serving.
