Preheat oven at 200˚C. Lightly grease 4x10cm round and deep loose-based flan pans.

Prick the bases with a fork, line the pastry with baking paper and fill with pastry weight/red beans.

Bake the pastry for 10 minutes. Remove the paper and filling, and bake pastry for further 5 minutes until it crisp and golden.

Remove pastry shells to cool, reduce the oven heat to 180˚C.

Whisk together eggs, sugar, butter, syrup, mixed spice, and flour in a mixing bowl.

Arrange pecans in the pastry shells, pour the egg mixture over the pecans.
