Homemade pastry is cut into 4-inch rounds and fitted into muffin pans. It is then filled with a butter, brown sugar and raisin and currant filling. Bigger (and better) than the tarts you would buy in a store.

Time 1h10m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

5 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups shortening
¾ cup ice water, or as needed
cooking spray
5 cups brown sugar
1 ⅔ cups butter, softened
5 eggs, beaten
⅔ cup milk
5 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups raisins
1 ¼ cups dried currants

Steps:

Whisk flour and salt together in a large bowl; cut in the shortening with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until the flour mixture is moistened. When you squeeze a handful of the moistened pastry mixture, it should form a ball. Divide dough in half and shape into balls.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray 36 muffin cups with cooking spray.
Roll pastry out 1/8-inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4-inch rounds; press rounds into the bottom and up sides of muffin cups to make tart shells.
Beat brown sugar and butter together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; beat in eggs, milk, and vanilla extract just until combined. Stir raisins and currants into butter mixture; fill tart shells with mixture 2/3-full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes; leaving oven closed, reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and bake until filling is bubbly and pastry is lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar in the filling.
To make the tarts ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe instructions and then let them cool completely. Store the tarts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
For a fun twist, try using different types of fruit in the filling, such as apples, blueberries, or raspberries.
If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a muffin tin instead. Just fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the filling and bake according to the recipe instructions.
Serve the tarts warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
