Mom's Butter Tarts
Makes 2-dozen 3 inch mini tarts
1 recipe plain pastry
2/3 cup butter
1 cup golden corn syrup
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups raisins
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1. Line three inch tart tins with pastry. Chill while making
filling.
2. Melt butter. Stir in golden syrup, brown sugar, raisins,
nutmeg, and salt; mix thoroughly. Let mixture cool.
Beat the eggs just sufficiently to combine yolks and
whites, and then mix into the butter syrup. Pour filling
into pastry lined tart tins. Set tins on a cookie sheet.
3. Bake on lowest rack in very hot preheated oven, 450
degrees F, for 15 to 20 mins. When baked, loosen edges
with pointed knife. Allow tarts to stand for at least 10
mins before removing from tins.
