Butter Tarts
A Canadian classic. I like the filling to be runny and gooey, not firmly set. If you do too then give this recipe a try.
Ingredients
Pastry for a double crust pie
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup raisins
Directions
- Roll pastry out thinly on a floured surface. Cut out rounds with a 4″ cutter. Fit into muffin cups.
- Combine all remaining ingredients except raisins.
- Divide raisins evenly between pastry shells. Fill 2/3 full with filling.
- Bake at 425 degrees F for 12-15 minutes, until just set. Do not overbake in order to keep them runny.
- Cool on wire rack and then remove from pan. Makes 12 tarts.
