These are the best butter tarts. A family recipe my mom always makes for special occasions, especially Christmas.
Makes 12 tarts.

1 Egg, well beaten
1/3 cup Butter, softened
1 cup Brown sugar, packed
2 tbsp Milk
2 tbsp Corn syrup
1 tsp Vanilla
¼ cup Raisins or currents (optional)
¼ cup Chopped pecans (optional)
12 Tart shells
Time saving tip: Pre-made tart shells save a lot of time with this recipe!
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Beat egg in a medium mixing bowl.
- Add butter, brown sugar, milk, corn syrup, and vanilla and mix well.
- Stir in raisins and nuts. You may choose to add only raisins or only nuts. If so, add 1/2 cup of one or the other.
