Time 35m

Yield 12 tartlets

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into bits
2 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening
1 large egg, beaten lightly
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup raisins (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the shells: In a processor, blend the flour, sugar, salt, butter and shortening until mixture resembles meal; transfer to a bowl and add 2-3 tblsps of ice water, or enough to form dough; knead dough briefly on a floured surface and chill it, wrapped plastic wrap, for 1 hour; roll out dough 3/8 inch thick on a floured surface, cut into rounds with a 4 1/2 inch cutter, and fit the rounds into 1/3 cup muffin tins.
  • Make the filling: In a bowl beat the egg, vanilla and butter until well-combined and stir in brown sugar and vinegar; spoon filling into shells and bake in a preheated 400F (205C) oven for 15 minutes; let cool 5 minutes; carefully remove from tins and let cool completely.(filling will be thin and runny while hot but will firm up as it cools).
  • Note: Many like raisins in their butter tarts (I don't); if you are one of them, add 1/4 cup raisins to the filling mixture.

This recipe is missing some important instructions. I had to guess at how to do some of the steps.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my butter tarts turned out dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not a big fan of butter tarts, but I decided to give this recipe a try and I'm glad I did! They were surprisingly delicious. The filling was smooth and creamy, and the crust was perfectly flaky.

These butter tarts are the best I've ever had! The filling is perfectly creamy and sweet, and the crust is flaky and golden brown. I'll definitely be making these again soon.
