Recipe Yield:
Makes approximately 12-15 tarts, depending on the size of your tart shells.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Raisins (optional)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, corn syrup, egg, butter, vanilla extract, vinegar, salt, and raisins (if using). Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. This mixture will form the delicious filling for your tarts.
-
Prepare the Tart Shells:
- Use your favorite pastry recipe to prepare tart shells. Roll out the pastry dough and line tart pans with it. Ensure the tart shells are ready to be filled.
-
Assemble the Tarts:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Fill each tart shell approximately 3/4 full with the prepared filling mixture. This allows room for the filling to expand slightly during baking.
-
Bake the Tarts:
- Place the filled tart shells on the lower rack of your preheated oven.
- Bake at 450°F (230°C) for about 12 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling and set. It’s crucial to watch closely during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once baked, remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the tart pans.
- Transfer the tarts to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. The filling will set further as it cools, creating a perfect balance of flavors and textures in each bite.
Recipe Notes:
- Variations: You can customize these tarts by adding nuts or chocolate chips to the filling for added texture and flavor.
- Storage: Store any leftover tarts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
