    I downloaded this recipe a couple years ago and had never tried it. I decide I would for Christmas. The original recipe I have is much different - obviously someone at Food Network realized it was a bad recipe, because when I followed what Tyler originally posted, it was wrong, bad, terrible. Here was the original:
    For the pie pastry dough:

    4 tablespoons finely ground pecans (sometimes available in the produce department adjacent to whole pecans
    4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
    Pinch fine salt
    2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    1 cup (2 sticks unsalted butter, cold and cut into small chunks
    2 egg whites, chilled
    2 tablespoons ice water, if needed

    A baker should know that this ratio of fat to flour was off. Total waste of money on ingredients, waste of time AND no dessert. Honestly, if you're going to be a source for recipes then get it right before you put it on your website!!

    A definite hit! These are one of my favorite go to desserts! So yummy and the caramel sauce is heavenly. Sometimes I make it to just top on vanilla ice cream on it's own.

    I made a double batch of these for a party, and they were a huge hit! I ended up with enough dough and filling to make 24 small pies and 18 or so teeny, bite-size pies (in an even smaller muffin pan. They were all very tasty and cooked up beautifully. They were so rich, I was just going to top them with some plain whipped cream to serve, instead of the caramel sauce and ice cream, but I forgot even that. No one seemed to find them lacking, but I'm looking forward to trying them again!

    I made just the little pecan pies, and they turned out so delicious! The crust was really flaky, almost shortbread-like, and the filling was perfect.

    the comments I received when I served them was awesome, awesome, and awesome! I substitute Splenda for sugar. I cut the measurement by 1/2. It turned out great and diabetics can enjoy it as well.

    These are perfect ... easy to make, perfect size and delicious! I'm getting requests for them all the time. I have not tried making the sauce. The little pies are great all by themselves. I used a substitution for the corn syrup ... 1.25 cups brown sugar and 4 TBSP water, bring to a boil and measure out what the recipe calls for. These are really excellent!

    I have to admit that when my husband told me he was making this for dessert last night, I was less than thrilled. I am not the biggest fan of pecans, and I do NOT like tea. However, I took one bite of this, and I was hooked. I love the portion size, and the tart was sweet, but not too sweet. My husband used homemade whipped cream instead of ice cream, which was good, but the caramel was awesome! I never would have believed this was Earl Grey tea! This is an unbelievable recipe, and I can't wait to have it again!

    ok, i've gone through 12 tea bags now, my sauce has has great flavor, but does not have the consistancy..i noticed on the show Tyler used butter at the end, and it was not in the recipe online, would that make a difference, and if so, can i reheat what I have and make it thicker? everything else turned out great!!
