Divide the dough into 24 pieces and press the pieces into the bottom and up the sides of 24 small (2-tablespoon) muffin tins. In a small bowl beat the egg lightly with the brown sugar and stir in the pecans, the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Divide the filling among the pastry-lined tins, bake the tassies in a preheated 350\u00b0 F. oven for 25 minutes, or until the filling is puffed slightly and the pastry is golden, and let them cool on a rack.","2":"Makes 24 confections."}
