🕒 Prep Time:

🍳 Cook Time:

20 minutes

🍽️ Servings:

12 butter tarts

🧂 Ingredients

For the Pastry

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter (cubed)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2–3 tbsp ice-cold water

For the Filling

  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup corn syrup or maple syrup
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup raisins, pecans, or walnuts (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Make the Pastry Dough

  • In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly.
  • Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough forms.
  • Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

  • In another bowl, whisk brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, egg, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  • Stir in raisins or nuts, if using.

Step 3: Assemble the Tarts

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Roll out dough on a floured surface and cut circles to fit a muffin tin.
  • Press pastry circles into each cup and fill ¾ full with the butter mixture.

Step 4: Bake

  • Bake for 18–20 minutes until filling is bubbling and crust is golden.
  • Let cool slightly before removing from pan.

🍯 Serving Suggestions

  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of maple syrup.
  • Perfect for tea-time desserts, holiday platters, or family gatherings.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.

💡 Tips for Perfect Butter Tarts

  • Chill your dough before rolling for extra flakiness.
  • For a firmer filling, bake a few minutes longer.
  • Prefer a runny center? Slightly reduce the baking time.
