Butter Tarts
From: Roberta
*THESE* are butter tarts circa 1890's (family recipe)
First off I'm not giving you the pastry recipe. I think I already posted that awhile ago. Personally it's too piddly to fool around making pastry for *tarts*...go buy some tart shells *gg*.
Now for the good part...
For 12 tarts...increase ingredients accordingly for more.
1 Egg, whisked
1/2 C brown sugar
3 Tbsp Butter
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp bourbon or rum (can also use 2 tsp. and skip the vanilla...originally it was if you didn't have vanilla!)
1/3-1/2 cup Raisins (less raisins if you like more goo)
Optional: 2 Tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts.
Mix 'er up and spoon into tart shells. Bake at 375° for 10-15 minutes until the filling rises.
