There's nothing quite like a classic butter tart, and the raisin pecan variety is no exception. With their sweet, gooey filling and buttery crust, these treats are perfect for any occasion. Raisin pecan butter tarts are relatively easy to make, and there are many different recipes to choose from. Some recipes use a traditional pastry crust, while others use a graham cracker crust. The filling is typically made with butter, sugar, eggs, and raisins, and pecans are often added for extra flavor. Raisin pecan butter tarts can be baked in a regular oven or a tart pan, and they are typically served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

AWARD-WINNING BUTTER TARTS



Award-Winning Butter Tarts image

Butter tarts are a Canadian tradition. Waaaay back in the 1970s, a national contest here in Canada concluded that these butter tarts, originating from Wilkie's Bakery in Orillia, Ontario, were the best. I certainly think so and it's the only recipe I use. Add a sprinkle of toasted walnuts when you add the raisins, if you wish, or use only walnuts if you don't like raisins.

Categories     Pie

Time 1h5m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

pie pastry (enough to fill 16 muffin cups, your own or from a mix)
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup soft butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Prepare muffin pans by rolling out pie dough and cutting 4-inch (approx) circles; fit dough circles into muffin cups; set aside in fridge until ready to fill.
  • In a small bowl, place raisins and cover with hot tap water; let stand on the counter for 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, mix together the soft butter, brown sugar, salt and corn syrup; stir well until sugar is dissolved and butter is creamed.
  • Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
  • Drain raisins.
  • Retrieve tart shells and divide raisins equally into all shells; then divide butter mixture into all tarts.
  • Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes; filling will be lightly browned but still bubbling.
  • Canadians fall into two camps about butter tarts and are quite loyal to their favourite type: runny or firm.
  • I like runny-- the type that dribbles when you bite into one; if you like firm, bake them for the full 20 minutes, even adding another minute or two if you wish.
  • Let cooked butter tarts cool in pans for 10 minutes after removing from oven; then remove and place on racks until completely cool.

RUM BUTTER TARTS WITH TOASTED PECANS RECIPE - (3.3/5)



Rum Butter Tarts with Toasted Pecans Recipe - (3.3/5) image

Provided by franny-2

Number Of Ingredients 15

Pastry
1 ¼ cups (300 mL) all-purpose flour
¼ tsp (1 mL) salt
¼ cup (50 mL) cold butter
2 tbsp (25 mL) cold lard or shortening
½ tsp (2 mL) lemon juice
2 to 3 tbsp (20 to 45 mL) ice cold water
Filling
1 egg ½ cup (125 mL) brown sugar
¼ cup (50 mL) corn syrup
2 tbsp (25 mL) dark rum
½ tsp (2 mL) pure vanilla extract
¼ cup (50 mL) melted butter
¼ to ½ cup (50 to 125 mL) coarsely chopped toasted
pecans or walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. Combine flour and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter and lard until butter pieces are about the size of small peas. Stir lemon juice into 2 tbsp (25 mL) water. Stir into flour mixture, adding up to 1 tbsp (15 mL) more water if needed to just moisten. Press together to form a ball of dough; then flatten, wrap and chill for 30 minutes. 2. Coat cups of a standard 12-cup muffin pan generously with cooking spray or lightly butter. Roll out pastry until thinner than usual for pie crust, about 1/8-inch (0.5-cm) thick. Use a 3-inch (8- cm) cookie cutter (or upturned glass) to cut into rounds. Press into cups forcing dough two-thirds to three-quarters up sides. Use scraps to fill in any breaks, low sides or thin parts. Freeze 10 minutes while making filling. 3. Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC). 4. Beat egg lightly with a fork. Gradually add brown sugar, corn syrup, rum, vanilla and melted butter. Stir until smooth. Divide ¼ cup (50 mL) nuts among homemade shells or ½ cup (125 mL) among frozen purchased shells; spoon in filling. Bake 15 minutes or until filling is bubbly and browned. Cool in pans on racks; then run a knife around edges of tarts. Remove tarts from pans. Covered tarts keep for a day or 2 at room temperature and freeze well.

Tips:

  • For the perfect flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. The butter will add flavor, while the shortening will help create a light and airy texture.
  • Be sure to chill the pastry dough before rolling it out. This will help prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
  • Don't overfill the tart shells. The filling should come up to the top of the shell, but it shouldn't be overflowing.
  • Bake the tarts until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This will take about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the tarts cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the crust to firm up.

Conclusion:

Raisin pecan butter tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their flaky crust, gooey filling, and sweet and nutty topping, these tarts are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat to make, give these raisin pecan butter tarts a try. You won't be disappointed!
