These individual tarts are so scrumptious and syrupy that I often double the recipe so I have enough for guests to take home. They're a little slice of heaven alongside a cup of coffee.—Lorraine Caland, Thunder Bay, Ontario

Maple Butter Tarts Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 20 min. + cooling

Yield: 8 Servings

20 20 40

Ingredients

1 package (15 ounces) refrigerated pie pastry
1-1/2 cups raisins
2 cups boiling water
1-3/4 cups packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon maple flavoring
Butter pecan or vanilla ice cream, optional

Directions

Cut each pastry sheet into quarters; roll each quarter into a 6-in. circle. Transfer pastry to eight ungreased 4-in. fluted tart pans with removable bottoms. Trim pastry even with edges. Place on baking sheets. Bake at 450° for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks. Reduce heat to 350°.
Place raisins in a large bowl. Cover with boiling water; let stand for 5 minutes. Drain. In another bowl, beat the brown sugar, eggs, butter, syrup and flavoring; stir in raisins. Divide filling among tart shells.
Bake for 16-20 minutes or until centers are just set (mixture will jiggle). Cool on a wire rack. Serve with ice cream if desired. Yield: 8 tarts.

I will rate the taste of the filling and the idea of baking the crust first only. I make my own crust from: 1 1/2 C flour, 3/4 C butter, 1/4 C fine sugar (use blender) 1/4 t salt and about 2 TBSP water. Chill and roll out to 1/8 inch and bake as above.
