April 25/11

It's another rainy day and it made me feel like baking.  I made butter tarts out of a book I have had since 1979.  I have made these many, many times and they always turn out.  I'm posting the recipe they are so good.  If you don't like raisins, substitute nuts like I did today.  Mmmm, can't wait to have one!!

BEST EVER BUTTER TARTS  (yes that is the name)

Line muffin tins with pastry (I use frozen tart shells)
In small saucepan melt 1/3 cup of butter (no substitute for best results)

Remove from heat and add:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup syrup (corn or maple)
1/2 cup or more currants or raisins
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg slightly beaten

Fill tart shells and bake at 400 degrees until brown and bubbling well.  Enjoy!!
