Categories     Desserts     Pies     Tarts     Fruit Tart Recipes

Time 2h50m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound lard (such as Tenderflake®)
1 egg, lightly beaten
11 tablespoons ice cold water
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup melted butter
2 eggs
1 cup raisins, rinsed and patted dry
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Whisk flour and 1 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl; cut lard into flour mixture with a pastry blender until crumbly. Make a well in the flour mixture and place 1 beaten egg into the well.
  • Pour ice cold water and vinegar into flour mixture; stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Divide dough into two balls; wrap dough in waxed paper and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat brown sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth; beat in 2 eggs one at a time. Stir raisins and vanilla extract into butter mixture.
  • Roll out one ball of dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness; reserve remaining dough for another use. Cut dough into circles large enough to fit into the bottom and partway up sides of the wells of a muffin tin using a round biscuit cutter. Press dough circles lightly into muffin tin to form tart shells; fill each shell 3/4 full with raisin mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling is bubbly and pastry is lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

Categories     Desserts     Pies     Tarts     Butter Tart Recipes

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup shortening
½ teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons ice water
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
½ tablespoon butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon hot water
½ cup flaked coconut
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup raisins

Steps:

  • Fill a cup with ice and water. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Cut in the shortening to make pea-size pieces. Add the tablespoons of ice water from the cup until dough holds together. Form the dough into a ball. The dough is now complete. Put it into a plastic bag or wrap it up and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Roll the dough between two sheets of waxed paper. Cut the shells using a large glass or your smallest pot. You should have about 12 shells when finished. Put these shells into a greased muffin or tart pan.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
  • Put walnuts and coconut on baking pan and roast for 5-10 minutes, until brown. Remove from oven and set temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Fill the bottom of each tart shell with about 10 raisins each.
  • Whisk together sugar, egg, butter, vanilla and hot water. Add coconut and walnuts. Pour mixture into tart shells, filling 2/3 full and no more.
  • Bake in 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before attempting to remove. Makes 12 tarts.

GRANDMA'S FRENCH CANADIAN BUTTER TARTS



Grandma's French Canadian Butter Tarts image

I remember as a little girl visiting Grandma in northern Ontario and always wondering what kind of treats she would have ready for us. These old fashion butter tarts were always our favorite. She told me when she was young, white sugar was sometimes scarce, and so her mother always used maple syrup as a sweetener in baking. The taste is absolutely decadent.

Provided by JudithP

Categories     Tarts

Time 1h45m

Yield 24 tarts

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups raisins
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 pinches salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup maple syrup
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Prepare muffin pans by rolling out pie dough and cutting 5-1/2 inch (approx) circles; fit dough circles into muffin cups; set aside in fridge until ready to fill. (I use the top of a Kraft peanut butter jar.).
  • In a small bowl, place raisins and cover with hot tap water; let stand on the counter for 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, mix together the soft butter, brown sugar, salt, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Stir well until sugar is dissolved and butter is creamed.
  • Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
  • Drain raisins.
  • Retrieve tart shells and divide raisins equally into all shells; then divide butter mixture into all tarts.
  • Bake at 400°F for 15-25 minutes; filling will be lightly browned but still bubbling. Runny tarts - 15 minutes. Firm tarts - 20-25 minutes.
  • Let cooked butter tarts cool in pans for 10 minutes after removing from oven; then remove and place on racks until completely cool.

GRANDMA'S BUTTER TARTS



Grandma's Butter Tarts image

This was my Grandma's recipe and has been a family favorite for years. Every time she would make these we would practically inhale them. Now, I make them on all the holidays. My family absolutely raves about them. They get gobbled up so fast that I always have to make a couple batches! Note: I don't put raisins and nuts in the filling mixture at first. I add them to each individual tart after I've poured in the mixture. About 5-8 raisins and a sprinkle of nuts to each tart. Also, to get a really flakey crust, keep all ingredients and utensils cold. I put my bowl, rolling pin, pastry whisk, and the flour I will use in the freezer prior to making and I keep the butter and shortening in the fridge until ready to use

Categories     Tarts

Time 1h15m

Yield 12-18 tarts, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup (or maple syrup)
1/2 cup melted butter
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup raisins, approx (soak in warm water to plump then drain)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, approx (or almonds)
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/3 cup butter
4 -5 tablespoons cold water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Filling:.
  • Mix all ingredients until well blended; set aside.
  • Pastry:.
  • Cut butter and shortening together using a fork or pastry whisk utensil.
  • Slowly add salt and flour to the butter and shortening cutting it in until the mixture looks like small crumbles.
  • Add cold water one tablespoon at a time until the dough sticks together.
  • Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Use a wide mouthed glass (I use a pint glass) to cut out circles.
  • Place circles into an ungreased cupcake pan.
  • Pour filling into the crusts, about a quarter of the way full. Be careful not to over fill as the mixture will bubble up and make the tarts stick to the pan.
  • Bake in oven at 425°F for about 12-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
  • Good luck and enjoy!
