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

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.

Oh, shortbread and scones, I luv them!

Heres a sooo much easier recipe, & very tasty.....

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.
