Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
-
Prepare Raisins: Clean and scald the sultana raisins. Drain them while still hot to ensure they are plump and juicy.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained raisins with the remaining ingredients: brown sugar, butter, pecans, walnuts, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Fill Tart Shells: Take your frozen tart shells and spoon approximately 1 rounded tablespoon of the filling mixture into each tart shell. Ensure that each tart is filled about 2/3 full to allow room for the filling to expand while baking.
-
Bake: Place the filled tart shells onto a baking sheet and into the preheated oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling deliciously.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the butter tarts from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delightful treats warm or at room temperature, and savor every bite of their irresistible sweetness!
-
Optional Tip: If you’re short on time, you can also use frozen tart shells for added convenience. This will yield approximately 16 tarts, perfect for when you need to whip up a batch in a hurry!
Note:
- Oven Variation: Keep in mind that oven temperatures and cooking times may vary, so it’s always a good idea to keep an eye on your butter tarts as they bake to ensure they reach the perfect golden hue.
