Another of my mother’s holiday favorites. Can’t have Christmas without butter tarts.

Use your favourite pastry recipe to make tart shells or use this filling on frozen shells.

  • i may try it...for my butter tarts i use
    1/4 c butter
    1/2 c brown sugar
    1/2 c corn syrup
    1 tsp real vanilla
    1 egg
    a pinch of salt

    depending if i am energetic or not i use premade tart shells or home made...
    into each tart shell goes 1 tsp of chopped walnuts and 1 tsp raisins and enough filling for 2/3 full

    bake on one of the upper shelves of your oven at 400 for 15 or 20 minutes
