"Butter Tarts, sweet, buttery, scrumptious flaky melt in your mouth treats that are a must make at our house at holiday time. Many families have their versions for this Canadian classic, this one is ours and the one I have been making for holidays and special occasions for many, many years. The recipe was passed to me as 'Best Ever Butter Tarts' I have agree - they are the best I've ever made! Another of our 'Christmas traditions in the making' and is being passed down to my family"

Step 1
Prepare you favourite pasty, roll to 1/8 thick
Step 2
Using a large round cookie cutter or lid, cut and fit into muffin cups. Do not prick
Step 3
I like to cover with wax paper or plastic wrap while preparing the filling
Step 4
Pour boiling water over raisins, let soak until white. Drain, dry well with paper towel
Step 5
In mixing bowl, cream butter, add brown sugar beating in thoroughly
Step 6
Add in salt,corn syrup, beaten egg ,vanilla and lemon juice mix together
Step 7
Fold in raisins or divide raisins equally into your prepared shells
Step 8
Fill 2/3 full, bake in a preheated oven at 375 20 - 20 minutes or until pastry is nicely golden brown and filling is set. Do not allow filling to boil
Step 9
Oven temperatures vary, in my oven to avoid having the filling boil I bake at 375 for 5 minutes - I reduce temperature to 325 bake 5 minutes, then once again lower the temperature this time to 300 and bake about 10 minutes until done
