Colleen's Butter Tarts image

I received this recipe from a friend many years ago. It has a custard-type filling that is not runny. These butter tarts are not overly sweet.

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (15 ounce) package pie crust pastry
1 cup corn syrup
⅔ cup brown sugar
3 eggs
⅓ cup melted butter
1 pinch salt
½ cup chopped pecans, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Roll prepared pie crust pastry out on a lightly floured surface; cut into circles using a biscuit cutter. Press pastry circles into 12 individual size tart tins.
  • Beat corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and salt together in a mixing bowl until frothy, about 2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons pecans into bottom of each tart shell; pour in egg mixture to fill shells 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling is bubbly and pastry is lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Allow tarts to cool for 10 minutes; remove from tart tins.

I used a gluten-free pie crust mix to make these butter tarts, and they turned out perfectly. They're a great option for people with gluten allergies.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my butter tarts didn't turn out as good as I expected. The filling was a little too runny, and the crust was a bit too hard.

I'm not a huge fan of butter tarts, but these ones were really good. The filling was smooth and creamy, and the crust was nice and flaky.
