Steps:
- In medium bowl, beat eggs LIGHTLY with a fork.
- Add corn syrup, sugar, melted butter and vanilla.
- Stir until blended.
- Divide nuts and cranberries evenly among tart shells.
- Pour in filling until shells are 2/3 full.
- Bake in preheated 350F (180C) degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes or just until set and golden.
- Hint: if you have a 3 or 4 cup measuring cup, pour the filling into this and then fill up the tart shells.
- Much easier.
Tips:
- To achieve the perfect flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. The butter will add flavor, while the shortening will help keep the dough tender and prevent it from becoming too tough.
- To prevent the filling from curdling, make sure to whisk the eggs and sugar together thoroughly before adding them to the hot butter mixture.
- Don't overfill the tart shells. The filling will expand slightly during baking, so it's important to leave a little bit of space at the top of each tart.
- Bake the tarts until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. The filling should be slightly jiggly in the center when you shake the pan gently.
- Allow the tarts to cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to firm up and the crust to become flaky.
Conclusion:
Cranberry pecan butter tarts are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and tangy filling and flaky crust, these tarts are sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
