Butter Tarts

(This recipe is way too small I always multiply it by 4 or 6)

1 egg 1/4 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup brown sugar 1 Tbsp butter, melted
1/2 tsp vanilla 1/8 tsp salt

 

Method

Beat egg, gradually beat in brown sugar,

salt, vanilla and lemon juice

Beat until full of bubbles

Fold in melted butter and raisins or currents if you wish

My family prefers pecans - I fill each tart shell

with a two or three pecans.

Cover with butter mixture.

My favourite pie pastry is the Tenderflake Recipe -

It never fails.

Bake 350º oven for 12 - 15 minutes

(Check one tart to make sure the pastry is not doughy)
