AWARD-WINNING BUTTER TARTS



Award-Winning Butter Tarts image

Butter tarts are a Canadian tradition. Waaaay back in the 1970s, a national contest here in Canada concluded that these butter tarts, originating from Wilkie's Bakery in Orillia, Ontario, were the best. I certainly think so and it's the only recipe I use. Add a sprinkle of toasted walnuts when you add the raisins, if you wish, or use only walnuts if you don't like raisins.

Time 1h5m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

pie pastry (enough to fill 16 muffin cups, your own or from a mix)
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup soft butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Prepare muffin pans by rolling out pie dough and cutting 4-inch (approx) circles; fit dough circles into muffin cups; set aside in fridge until ready to fill.
  • In a small bowl, place raisins and cover with hot tap water; let stand on the counter for 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, mix together the soft butter, brown sugar, salt and corn syrup; stir well until sugar is dissolved and butter is creamed.
  • Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
  • Drain raisins.
  • Retrieve tart shells and divide raisins equally into all shells; then divide butter mixture into all tarts.
  • Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes; filling will be lightly browned but still bubbling.
  • Canadians fall into two camps about butter tarts and are quite loyal to their favourite type: runny or firm.
  • I like runny-- the type that dribbles when you bite into one; if you like firm, bake them for the full 20 minutes, even adding another minute or two if you wish.
  • Let cooked butter tarts cool in pans for 10 minutes after removing from oven; then remove and place on racks until completely cool.
