Ingredients
- 1 cup butter melted
- 3 Tbsp vinegar
- 4 eggs lightly beaten
- 4 cups brown sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Line tart tins with pastry. Sprinkle 6-8 raisins into each tart shell.
- Let butter cool to room temp, then add the remaining ingredients. Stir until smooth.
Spoon into unbaked tart shells, filling about 2/3 full.
- Bake at 200F for 15 min, then without taking the tarts out, turn the oven to 350°F
- Bake another 10-15 min, until they start to brown. This method will prevent them from boiling over.
- Note: I use Tender flake lard and make the pastry using the instructions on the box, chilling the dough before rolling. Roll it a little thicker than for pie pastry, and use a little extra flour.
- Alternatively you can use frozen tart shells from the grocery.
Enjoy!
