Best Ever Butter Tarts

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
