Butter Tarts

This is a recipe of my own. It started off from getting it from a relative, then I slowly made changes. This is super easy, because I cheat! They still taste fantastic, so my guilt over taking the easy way, doesn't exist at all.

Butter Tarts

1 cup Brown sugar
1/3 cup Butter, melted (can use margarine in a pinch)
1 large Egg, beaten
2 tablesppons Milk
1/2 cup Raisins, currants or pecans
1 teaspoon Vanilla

12 frozen tart shells

Preheat oven to 450.

Mix all ingredients, except raisins (& tart shells, duh!) in a mixer, until light & fluffy. Slowly mix in raisins.

Place frozen tart shells on a cookie sheet.

Fill tart shells 2/3 full with mixture. May need to stir by hand occasionally to keep raisins from sinking to the bottom. (Or, if you want, you can cheat and simply add the raisins directly to each tart shell.)

Bake for 8 minutes at 450. Lower oven to 350 & continue to bake for 15-20 minutes.

Best to make these a day ahead of when you want to serve them.
