Classic Canadian Butter Tart

Ingredients

Pastry dough

1 batch, homemade or store-bought

Unsalted butter

1/2 cup, melted

Brown sugar

1 cup, packed

Large eggs

2, beaten

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

White vinegar

1 teaspoon

Raisins

1/2 cup (optional)

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll out the pastry dough on a floured surface until about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles that are slightly larger than the muffin tin cups and press them into the muffin tin.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, vinegar, and salt until smooth and well combined.
4. If using raisins, divide them evenly among the pastry shells, placing a small amount in each cup.
5. Carefully pour the butter mixture over the raisins, filling each tart to about 3/4 full.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
7. Allow the tarts to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
