In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, granulated sugar, and salt.

Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan.

Carefully transfer the dough to the tart pan and press it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough.

Step 9

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, dark corn syrup, and packed brown sugar until well blended.

Stir in the vanilla extract and pecan halves.

Step 11

Pour the pecan filling into the prepared tart shell, spreading the pecans evenly.

Remove from the oven and allow the tart to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
