Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (6 tablespoons or 45 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (about 55 grams) pecan halves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I halved this, found it to be just-enough)
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt (I recommend doubling this)
  • 1/2 cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, cold is fine
  • 2/3 cup (65 grams) granulated sugar (I would drop this by a tablespoon or two next time)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup, honey, or golden syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs, hard-boiled
  • 4 tablespoons (55 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 1/2 cups (300 grams) confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (I halved this because I’m a spice wimp)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (I halved this too)
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum (can be skipped or reduced)
