Butter Tarts – An update



What you need,
Makes 36 tarts

36 pre-made tart shells, I like tenderflake (you could make homemade if you want)
1 cup packed DARK brown sugar
¾ cup light corn syrup
¼ cup dark corn syrup
1 cup butter, melted
4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp. salt
1½ cup mixed raisins (if your raisins aren’t soft soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before using)

Heat the oven to 400 degrees.  Line the tart shells up on 2 large baking sheets. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla and salt until well combined.

Sprinkle a few raisins in the bottom of each tart shell, just enough to cover the bottom.

Pour in enough of the butter mixture to fill the tart shell up ¾ of the way. 

Bake the tarts one pan at a time in the middle of the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the syrup is bubbly!

Remove from the oven and let stand on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Then remove the tarts to a wire rack to cool completely.

You can store the tarts in an airtight container in the fridge for a week or in the freezer for 2 months, but they won’t last that long!
