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.
RUM TARTS AKA BUTTER TARTS
These are the best tarts, my favorite. Easy to make and wonderful tasting. I use dark rum for a little added flavor. Oh and I cheat and use store bought tart shells but you can use homemade.

Steps:
- Line tart tins with pastry. Sprinkle 6-8 currants into each tart shell.
- Let butter cool to room temp, then add the remaining ingredients. Stir until smooth.
- Spoon into unbaked tart shells, filling about 2/3 full.
- Bake at 200F for 15 min, then without taking the tarts out, turn the oven to 350°F Bake another 10-15 min, until they start to brown. This method will prevent them from boiling over.
- Note: I use Tenderflake lard and make the pastry using the instructions on the box, chilling the dough before rolling. Roll it a little thicker than for pie pastry, and use a little extra flour.

Tips:
- Use real butter for the best flavor. If you use margarine, your tarts will not be as rich and flavorful.
- Don't overcook the tarts. The filling should be slightly golden brown and set, but not too firm.
- Let the tarts cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld together.
- Store the tarts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the tarts for up to 2 months.
- To freeze the tarts, place them in a single layer in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw, remove the tarts from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
