The Ultimate Butter Tart

Recipe from Bonnie's friend, Brenda

Filling for Butter Tarts

Recipe from Crisco

1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup butter (or Golden Flavour crisco)
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup Sun-Maid raisins

Combine all filling ingredients except raisins.  Mix well.

Makes 36 if  you double the filling.

Put raisins in pastry shells, dividing evenly.

Fill /3 full with syrup mixture.

Bake on bottom shelf at 425 F for 12 - 15 minutes or just until set.

Don't over bake.

Under-baking makes them runnier?  Cool on sire rack.  Then removed from pans.

For the Tart Shells make any pastry that contains Crisco Shortening, though some people use lard, and others even use margarine.  Your choice.

This is the recipe Bonnie wanted to make for her birthday, but she didn't get around to making the tarts.  She decided to do some of her own self-care instead.
