BUTTER TARTS  These are exceptional! Use your own pastry recipe or frozen shells. Makes about 20 small 2-1/2 inch (6cm) tarts Ingredients: 1/2 cup Butter 1-1/2 cup Firmly packed brown sugar 2/3 cup Raisins 2 eggs 2 tbsp Light cream 2 tsp Vanilla 1/2 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans Preparation: Preheat oven 400F (200C). In small saucepan, heat together butter and sugar over low heat until butter is melted. Remove from heat and add raisins; let cool. In bowl, beat together eggs, cream and vanilla. Stir in nuts, then butter-sugar mixture. Spoon butter mixture into tart shells, filling 2/3 full. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until pastry is golden and filling puffed but firm. Remove from pan and let cool on wire racks. NOTE: Because the sugar filling hardens quickly and sticks to the pan, be sure to remove tarts as directed. |
