My review
Maple Butter Tarts
Inez Quinn
"These are a big hit every time I make them. They are an addition to a basket donated at a local fundraiser full of maple products. Sweet with a smooth flavor, they pair well with your favorite vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!"

Ready In
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place tart shells on a baking sheet; sprinkle raisins evenly into the bottom of tart shells.
- Beat brown sugar and butter together in a bowl until smooth; whisk in eggs, maple syrup, flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Fill each tart shell 3/4 full with maple syrup mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set and shells are golden, about 16 minutes. Turn the baking sheet halfway through the baking time for even baking.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- For the pastry, I use the recipe on the Tenderflake® shortening package, and freeze any leftover dough. You can also purchase ready-to-bake tart shells in the freezer section of the grocery store.
- If you like, soak the raisins in your favorite rum before adding them to the tart shells.
- If you prefer a tart which oozes its filling, omit the 1 tablespoon flour from the filling.
- Editor's Note:
- If using homemade pastry, roll dough out to 1/8-inch thickness; cut circles large enough to fit into the bottom and partway up sides of the wells of a muffin tin, using a round biscuit cutter. Press circles lightly into the wells of muffin tin to form tart shells.

This is a great recipe. I made it exactly as written. I love that it is made without corn syrup.

These were just ok. In my opinion, what will make or break this recipe is the crust you choose. I feel the flakier the better. Don’t use a biscuit dough and be forewarned, they are very sweet.

These were devoured in 1 day by my coworkers! I substituted the raisins with pecans and it turned out amazing!! 10/10 will bake again!

Turned out fantastic! I baked them while baking my pumpkin pies, so I had the oven at 450F for 15 min then turned it down to 350F for 5 minutes. They were perfect :)

I made them for a friend's birthday - she'd never had butter tarts. They were devoured over tea on a sunny day in the back garden. A very happy birthday girl! I made a half recipe of the batter ...
