Pastry Crust:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter
1/4 cup water, or more as needed
Pecan Filling:
3/4 cup golden corn syrup
3/4 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel (sea salt flakes)
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups pecans, or to taste

1
Preheat oven to 335 degrees F (168 degrees C).
2
Mix 1 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, egg yolk, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup butter with the tips of your fingers until mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add water; mix until dough begins to stick together. Shape dough into a flat disk and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
3
Combine corn syrup and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until sugar is dissolved, 1 to 3 minutes.
4
Pour corn syrup mixture into a large bowl. Add 3 tablespoons butter, vanilla extract, and fleur de sel; whisk until butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Let filling cool, about 10 minutes. Whisk in 1 egg at a time. Stir in pecans.
5
Separate the dough into 2 equal slabs; roll out onto a floured work surface and flatten into 2 long rectangles. Cut out 3 circles from each rectangle; press crusts into 6 tartlet pans. Divide the pecan filling over the crusts.
6
Bake until crusts are golden and filling is set, 35 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely in the tartlet pans, at least 30 minutes.
