The Great Canadian Butter Tart image

This recipe is based on one I found taped into a used cookbook and tweaked to my liking. This is the closest I've come to the heaven that is my grandmother's butter tarts.

Time 1h

Yield 24 tarts, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 batch double crust pie crust
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup currants
1/2 cup walnuts
2 teaspoons white vinegar
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Beat eggs well; add sugar, corn syrup, and melted butter and beat until combined.
  • Add currants, walnuts, vinegar, salt and vanilla extract; mix vigorously.
  • Place circles of unbaked pie pastry into cornmeal-sprinkled muffin pans or silicone muffin cups. Paper cups work in a pinch as well.
  • Fill the shells 3/4 full and bake until the pastry is lightly browned, approximately 20 minutes. For a runnier tart reduce baking time to 15-17 minutes.
