Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

Whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla, vinegar, and eggs in a medium bowl.

Place 18 frozen tart shells on a large baking sheet. Drop about 10 raisins into each tart shell and then distribute the filling mixture evenly on top throughout all 18 tart shells.

Bake the butter tarts in the preheated oven for 20-23 minutes or until the edges of the tart shell are golden brown and the filling has puffed up.

Let cool slightly or to room temperature before serving. Enjoy!

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.
