Another rainy day. Another scrumptious recipe. Today it was butter tarts. I've tasted a few from various places, but homemade is almost always better :) So I fixed my recipe to be not too sweet yet still tasty and mouth watering from the filling to the last bite of pastry. Ingredients: Filling:   1/2 cup butter (melted)  1/2 cup brown sugar  1 egg  2 tsp all spice 1 tsp vinegar  dash of grated nutmeg Chopped dates (optional) Shredded coconut (optional) Tart shell:   ⇛ I used my Tart shell recipe ⇚ But feel free to buy unbaked shells Instructions: Combine all ingredients on one bowl and pour batter into your unbaked shell. Oven instructions : Preheat oven and bake at 350 º Bake for approximately 30 minutes. The batter will rise slightly and will bubble in the last 5-10mins. At  the 30 minute mark I turn off the oven and let the tarts sit for another 5 minutes in the heat. Remove from the oven and let cool.
