GRANDMA'S BUTTER TARTS
This was my Grandma's recipe and has been a family favorite for years. Every time she would make these we would practically inhale them. Now, I make them on all the holidays. My family absolutely raves about them. They get gobbled up so fast that I always have to make a couple batches! Note: I don't put raisins and nuts in the filling mixture at first. I add them to each individual tart after I've poured in the mixture. About 5-8 raisins and a sprinkle of nuts to each tart. Also, to get a really flakey crust, keep all ingredients and utensils cold. I put my bowl, rolling pin, pastry whisk, and the flour I will use in the freezer prior to making and I keep the butter and shortening in the fridge until ready to use

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Filling:.
- Mix all ingredients until well blended; set aside.
- Pastry:.
- Cut butter and shortening together using a fork or pastry whisk utensil.
- Slowly add salt and flour to the butter and shortening cutting it in until the mixture looks like small crumbles.
- Add cold water one tablespoon at a time until the dough sticks together.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.
- Use a wide mouthed glass (I use a pint glass) to cut out circles.
- Place circles into an ungreased cupcake pan.
- Pour filling into the crusts, about a quarter of the way full. Be careful not to over fill as the mixture will bubble up and make the tarts stick to the pan.
- Bake in oven at 425°F for about 12-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
- Good luck and enjoy!
