The story behind the recipe:

Butter tarts are definitely on our baking list every Christmas, a lot of my cousins make the same recipe and butter tarts are a family favourite at Christmas time. I try to make them six times a year as well.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup raisins

How to make it:

Preheat oven to 350℉.

Mix ingredients in the order given. Put in unbaked tart shells and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Recipe makes one dozen large tarts or 18 medium tarts.

It's easier than ever to tell beatiful food stories.
