Prize Butter Tarts Recipe

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Prepare pastry dough; cut in circles and line 3-inch tart pans with pastry circles.
3. Combine balance of ingredients.
4. Spoon mixture into unbaked pastry lined pans, filling each no more than 2/3 full (if the filling bubbles over it makes one heck of a mess!). Bake for 20 minutes or until filling has cooked and pastry is golden.
5. Notes: This can be made without the raisins or nuts, but they are very plain.
6. I generally make these with a combination of nuts and raisins.
7. Craisins can be substituted for the raisins.
8. For Jam Tarts: Line tart pan cups with pastry.
9. Fill cups 1/2 full with your choice of jam.
10. Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes or until pastry is golden.
