Yield Makes one 9-inch double-crust tart

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups golden raisins
1 1/2 cups dark raisins
Boiling water, for soaking
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon, plus 2 tablespoons juice
Vegetable oil cooking spray
Pate Brisee for Raisin Tart
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon heavy cream
Sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

Combine golden and dark raisins in a large bowl, cover with boiling water, and soak 15 minutes. Drain, and return raisins to bowl. Add sugar, flour, and lemon zest and juice; stir to combine, and set aside to thicken for about 10 minutes.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out 1 pate brisee disk to an 1/8-inch thickness. Carefully drape over a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Working quickly, roll out remaining pate brisee disk to an 1/8-inch thickness. Use a ruler to measure a 9-inch circle in center, and mark lightly without cutting through dough. With a 1/2-inch round cutter, cut holes within the marked circle about 1 inch apart.
Fill prepared tart pan with raisin mixture. Using a pastry brush, gently brush edge of dough in tart pan with water, and top with perforated dough, making sure to center it. Using kitchen shears, trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Press doughs together to seal. Using a rolling pin, roll over top of tart, flush with rim, and remove dough scraps. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
Heat oven to 425 degrees with rack placed in lower third of oven. Whisk together egg yolk and cream in a small bowl. Brush sparingly onto tart and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
Place tart on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake 20 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees, and bake until dark golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes more. (If tart browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil.) Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.

Tips:

For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of white sugar.
If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the raisins and walnuts by hand with a knife.
Be sure to press the crust firmly into the pan so that it doesn't crumble when you cut the squares.
Bake the squares until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. This will take about 30-35 minutes.
Let the squares cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help them to hold their shape.
Serve the squares with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

These raisin butter tart squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple shortbread crust and a creamy raisin filling. The squares are then baked until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Once they have cooled, they can be cut into bars and served. These squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
