Number Of Ingredients 14

BOTTOM LAYER
1⁄2 cup butter softened
1⁄3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 1⁄4 cups flour
SECOND LAYER
2 large eggs
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon flour
1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 cup butter melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1⁄2 cups raisins
1⁄2 chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. BOTTOM LAYER. Crumble all 3 ingredients together in a bowl. Press into ungreased 9×9″ pan. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes.
  • 2. SECOND LAYER. Mix eggs and brown sugar with spoon. Add the rest of the ingredients. Stir and spread over bottom layer. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until light brown. Enjoy

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your tarts. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and fresh eggs.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the dough to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the tarts until they are just set. Over baking will make the tarts dry and crumbly.
  • Let the tarts cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
