Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp corn syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt until combined. Using a hand mixer, beat in the softened butter until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  3. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press it down evenly to form a base for the bars. Bake in the preheated oven for around 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  4. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In another large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Stir in the raisins and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
  6. Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven and pour the filling over the top of the crust.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown on top.
  8. Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing into bars and serving.

Variations

If you want to put your own spin on this classic recipe, there are a few variations you can try.
Chocolate Chip Butter Tart Bars

Maple Butter Tart Bars

Tips for Baking Perfect Butter Tart Bars

  • Make sure to use room temperature butter for the crust mixture so that it combines well with the flour and sugar.
  • Don't overmix the crust mixture - this could result in a tough crust.
  • For the filling, make sure to whisk the eggs, brown sugar, and corn syrup until they are well combined. This will prevent lumps from forming in the filling mixture.
  • Let the bars cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing them. This will make it easier to remove them from the pan and prevent them from falling apart.

If you want to try something different, give some of the variations a try. These bars are easy to make and sure to impress your guests.
Butter tart bars are delicious and easy to make. You can customize them with various ingredients to give them a unique flavor. Coconut raisin butter tart bars are perfect for people who love sweet and fragrant desserts. This article will provide valuable tips to make the best coconut raisin butter tart bars.

Tip 1: Use quality ingredients

The first step to making great coconut raisin butter tart bars is to use quality ingredients. Ensure that you use fresh and high-quality raisins, coconut flakes, butter, and eggs. Also, use organic and unbleached flour, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. These ingredients have a significant impact on the taste and texture of butter tart bars.

Tip 2: Properly prepare the crust

The crust of butter tart bars is one of the most critical parts of the recipe. To make the crust, mix the flour with sugar and salt, then add the butter and knead the mixture until you get fine crumbs. The secret to a great crust is to use cold butter and cold water. Incorporate the water slowly to avoid making the crust too sticky. Roll the dough into a ball, then flatten it and cover it with plastic wrap. Put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to get firm. This makes it easier to roll out and place in the baking pan.

Tip 3: Use the right pan size

Using the right pan size is essential in making perfect coconut raisin butter tart bars. Use a 9x13-inch baking pan, which is the standard size for most recipes. A pan that is too small will overflow, while a pan that is too large will result in thin and dry butter tart bars. Line the baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Tip 4: Pre-bake the crust

Pre-baking the crust helps to cook the crust and prevent it from getting soggy when adding the filling. Before baking, prick the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up. Pre-bake the crust in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, then let it cool slightly before adding the filling.

Tip 5: Mix the filling ingredients well

To make the filling, combine the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, melted butter, coconut flakes, and raisins. Mix these ingredients well until they are well combined. Ensure that there are no lumps or clumps in the mixture.

Tip 6: Fill the crust evenly

Once the crust has cooled, pour the filling into the pan, and ensure that it is evenly spread. Ensure that the filling does not overflow, and there is enough space left between the filling and the top of the pan.

Tip 7: Bake at the right temperature and time

Bake the coconut raisin butter tart bars in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes or until the filling is cooked and browned. It is important to check on the butter tart bars regularly to avoid overcooking or undercooking. Overcooking the bars can make them dry, while undercooking them can result in a runny filling.

Tip 8: Cool and slice the bars properly

Once the coconut raisin butter tart bars are cooked, allow them to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Use a sharp knife to slice them into bars. Ensure that the bars are entirely cooled before removing them from the pan. This prevents the bars from falling apart or losing their shape.

Tip 9: Customize the recipe

You can customize the coconut raisin butter tart bars recipe to your liking. For instance, you can use pecans or walnuts instead of raisins, or add chocolate chips or cinnamon to the filling. You can also add a layer of chocolate on top or sprinkle some powdered sugar to add sweetness.

Tip 10: Store the bars properly

Store the coconut raisin butter tart bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. You can also store them in the fridge for up to a week. Ensure that they are completely cooled before storing and that they are not exposed to direct sunlight or heat.
Conclusion
In conclusion, following these valuable tips will help you make amazing coconut raisin butter tart bars that are delicious and easy to make. Remember to use high-quality ingredients, pre-bake the crust, mix the filling ingredients well, bake at the right temperature and time, cool and slice the bars properly, and store them properly. Experiment with various ingredients and customizations to make a unique flavor that suits your preference.
