Butter Tarts, a wonderful Canadian dessert, sort of like pecan pie without nuts, if you can imagine such a thing. This (old) Canadian recipe should do the trick!

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 12 3 inch tarts

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup seedless raisins or 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine, melted
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pastry for double-crust pie

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Prepare pastry dough; cut in circles and line 3-inch tart pans with pastry circles.
  • Combine balance of ingredients.
  • Spoon mixture into unbaked pastry lined pans, filling each no more than 2/3 full (if the filling bubbles over it makes one heck of a mess!). Bake for 20 minutes or until filling has cooked and pastry is golden.
  • Notes: This can be made without the raisins or nuts, but they are very plain.
  • I generally make these with a combination of nuts and raisins.
  • Craisins can be substituted for the raisins.
  • For Jam Tarts: Line tart pan cups with pastry.
  • Fill cups 1/2 full with your choice of jam.
  • Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes or until pastry is golden.
