GRANDMA'S BUTTER TARTS
This was my Grandma's recipe and has been a family favorite for years. Every time she would make these we would practically inhale them. Now, I make them on all the holidays. My family absolutely raves about them. They get gobbled up so fast that I always have to make a couple batches! Note: I don't put raisins and nuts in the filling mixture at first. I add them to each individual tart after I've poured in the mixture. About 5-8 raisins and a sprinkle of nuts to each tart. Also, to get a really flakey crust, keep all ingredients and utensils cold. I put my bowl, rolling pin, pastry whisk, and the flour I will use in the freezer prior to making and I keep the butter and shortening in the fridge until ready to use

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Filling:.
- Mix all ingredients until well blended; set aside.
- Pastry:.
- Cut butter and shortening together using a fork or pastry whisk utensil.
- Slowly add salt and flour to the butter and shortening cutting it in until the mixture looks like small crumbles.
- Add cold water one tablespoon at a time until the dough sticks together.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.
- Use a wide mouthed glass (I use a pint glass) to cut out circles.
- Place circles into an ungreased cupcake pan.
- Pour filling into the crusts, about a quarter of the way full. Be careful not to over fill as the mixture will bubble up and make the tarts stick to the pan.
- Bake in oven at 425°F for about 12-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
- Good luck and enjoy!

MRS WELCH'S BUTTER TARTS
A good friend, Mrs Welch, gave me this recipe in the mid 1970's. It's fail-proof, it's delicious, and it's quick-and-easy using ingredients I usually have on-hand.

AWARD-WINNING BUTTER TARTS
Butter tarts are a Canadian tradition. Waaaay back in the 1970s, a national contest here in Canada concluded that these butter tarts, originating from Wilkie's Bakery in Orillia, Ontario, were the best. I certainly think so and it's the only recipe I use. Add a sprinkle of toasted walnuts when you add the raisins, if you wish, or use only walnuts if you don't like raisins.

Steps:
- Prepare muffin pans by rolling out pie dough and cutting 4-inch (approx) circles; fit dough circles into muffin cups; set aside in fridge until ready to fill.
- In a small bowl, place raisins and cover with hot tap water; let stand on the counter for 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, mix together the soft butter, brown sugar, salt and corn syrup; stir well until sugar is dissolved and butter is creamed.
- Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
- Drain raisins.
- Retrieve tart shells and divide raisins equally into all shells; then divide butter mixture into all tarts.
- Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes; filling will be lightly browned but still bubbling.
- Canadians fall into two camps about butter tarts and are quite loyal to their favourite type: runny or firm.
- I like runny-- the type that dribbles when you bite into one; if you like firm, bake them for the full 20 minutes, even adding another minute or two if you wish.
- Let cooked butter tarts cool in pans for 10 minutes after removing from oven; then remove and place on racks until completely cool.
