    Past down receipe from My Mother
    They will disappear fast..

    2 eggs slightly Beaten

    2 cups brown sugar

    1 tsp vanilla

    1 1/3 cup rasins and nuts (I use 2 cups) soak in hot water to plump up raisins for about 10 minutes.

    Salted Butter melted and cooled– one stick - (1 / 2 cup )

    add slightly beaten egg with rest of ingredients – add cooled melted butter last and mix well.

    Fill unbaked tart shells - 2/3 full bake 350 degrees 12 – 15 minutes depending on how runny you want them. I do them closer to 12 minutes makes about 30 tarts

    I buy pre made tart shells.. You may not have them in the USA, but you can make your own.

    Enjoy….They won’t last long.

    Should make 30 tarts fill to ¾ full



    Another receipe for Butter TARTS:
    1 cup raisins

    1 cup brown sugar

    2 tbsp butter (very soft)

    1 egg (well beaten)

    1 tsp vanilla

    ½ cup corn syrup (light)

    Scald raisins (Pour boiling water over them, let sit for a few minutes) While warm add butter and other ingredients.

    Put into defrosted Frozen Tart Shells. ….easy way out….Only takes a few minutes to make delicious HOME MADE BUTTER TARTS…Simple Recipe.

    Bake 400 degrees – 12 to 15 minutes depending on how runny you want them, I do them closer to 12 minutes.

    Makes about 16 tarts...

    These are the BEST! I had never seen them before until I spent a summer in British Columbia.

    We serve these at the church holiday tea event-baked by our own Canadian......and she has the tarts shipped to CA. It is a favorite along with her shortbread and scones.

    Thank you so much for the recipe....sounds yummy, but can you please tell me how much a stick of butter weighs? We don't have sticks in Scotland, only packets and tubs.
    I'll look forward to trying this out at our Guild Coffee Morning in February.

    A stick of butter = 4 ounces by weight
    (They come 4 sticks to a one pound package.)

    One stick is also 1/2 cup.

    An interesting note for anyone who watches Food Network's "Best Thing I Ever Ate" - Chef Robert Irvine (originally from England) described Butter Tarts as one of his favorites, but I don't remember what category it was in.
