Lazy Day Butter Tarts
Now this was my first attempt at actually making these. I found a recipe in some old shelf and decided to try them out. It was one of those "oh I don't want to do anything, but I want to bake, but not something too fancy" kind of days (yes, I have those specific days quite often) so I used store bought tart shells. But by all means, go forth and make your own tart shells! I will soon, now that those long summer days are approaching. I will have the time!
What you will need:
-12 tart shells
-1 cup hot tap water
-½ cup raisins
-¼ cup butter, melted
-¼ cup packed brown sugar
-¼ teaspoon salt
-½ cup golden corn syrup
-1 egg
-½ teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the raisins and not tap water and let stand for around 30 minutes
2. Preheat the oven to 400˚F
3. In a medium bowl, mix the butter, sugar, salt and corn syrup until fully combined
4. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well
5. Drain the raisins, and divide equally between the 12 tarts shells
6. Pour the butter mixture over the raisins, dividing equally into the 12 tart shells
7. Place the tarts on a cookie rack, and bake for 20 minutes

I am such a huge fan of butter tarts!! I love it even better when there's the addition of pecan!!! 😀

These buttery tarts look tempting!!
I feel so deprived that I've never even HEARD of a butter tart! They sound almost like pecan pies without the pecans in them. Delicious!
I love all things tarts and have a really good sweet tart recipe that I use again and again. I will have to share that with you. These tarts look so yummy!
I guess it's easy to avoid butter tarts in Idaho since I've never had one!! It looks fantastic! I just finished baking buttery shortbread cookies. Butter sure makes everything better. Anyway, those tart shells look so perfect! I just have to try them! Then I can say I've had one.
