Tips & Tricks (5)
- Master the Raisin Suspension 🍇Lightly dust raisins with flour before adding to the filling to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the tart shells.
- Temperature Perfect Filling 🌡️Ensure all filling ingredients are at room temperature to create a smooth, homogeneous mixture that bakes evenly and prevents curdling.
- Shell Preparation Technique 🥧If using frozen tart shells, thaw them completely and gently prick the bottom with a fork to prevent air bubbles during baking.
- Caramelization Control 🍯For a perfect golden-brown top, watch your tarts closely in the last 3-5 minutes of baking and rotate the pan for even caramelization.
- Filling Consistency Secret 🥄For a classic runny butter tart filling, remove from oven when the center still has a slight wobble - it will set as it cools.
