Christmas: Canadian Butter Tarts

Butter Tarts

Makes 2 to 3 dozen

Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup each: raisins, walnuts, coconut
  • uncooked tart shells
Instructions
  1. Mix all the ingredients together.
  2. Spoon into raw tart shells.
  3. Bake at 400F or 20 minutes.
  4. Let cool before removing from tart tins.
Variations
  • Omit raisins and coconut. Substitute pecans or cashews for walnuts.
  • Add chocolate chips. (Note: This is a modern but popular substitution. I love chocolate but don't care for them in my butter tarts. If you're making butter tarts for the first time, I wouldn't use the chips. This way you can taste the authentic recipe and decide if you can take the added sweetness.)

My note: What about graham cracker crust OR your choice of crushed cookies mixed the same way as the graham crackers?
