I don't think you can find butter tarts in the U.S. They are a Canadian treat and this is an award winning recipe from Wilkies Bakery in Orillia, Ontario.Enjoy all
Ingredients
- pie pastry...enough to fill 16, 4 inch muffin cups shopping list
- or shopping list
- 16 frozen pre-prepared tart shells shopping list
- 1/2 cup raisins....you may also use chopped nuts instead if you like them better shopping list
- 1/4 cup soft butter shopping list
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar shopping list
- pinch of salt shopping list
- 1/2 cup corn syrup shopping list
- 1 egg slightly beaten shopping list
- 1/2 tsp.vanilla shopping list
How to make it
- Prepare muffin tins by rolling out pie crust
- cut 4 inch (approx) circles from the dough....
- fit dough circles into muffin tin and refrigerate until ready to use
- place raisins in a small bowl,
- cover with hot water and let raisins soak for 30 minutes to plump
- in a large bowl using a wooden spoon mix together the butter, brown sugar, salt and corn syrup.
- Stir well until sugar is dissolved and butter is creamed.
- Add egg and vanilla and beat well
- drain the raisins..and divide the raisins (or the nuts if you are using them) evenly between the shells
- divide the butter mixture evenly between the shells.
- bake in a 400 f oven for 15 - 20 minutes until the filling is lightly browned but still bubbling
- NOTE: If you like your tarts runny, bake them for 15 minutes...
- If you want the filling set and firm, bake for 20 minutes or even a few minutes more.
- I like them runny....
- let the tarts cool in the tins for about 10 minutes and then remove to cool completely
