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.

Firm and sweet but not flaky . Not too soft but has a bit of crunch. This tart shell recipe is everything you need in 5 minutes to whip up a quick dessert. Ingredients:   1 3/4 cup of flour  3/4 cup butter 1 Tsp salt 3/4 cup icing sugar  2 tbsp sliced almonds(optional ) 1 egg yolk Instructions:    In a food processor or by hand mix all the ingredients together until crumby Pour half of the pastry mix into your greased tart tin(9inch) Flatten and shape your crumby mixture into your tin as preferred  Cover with a damp paper towel and freeze for 1 hour, if you have the time  OR Place it in the fridge while you make your pie filling.  Both methods give you  good results  Fill and bake your tart as required.
