Canadian Butter Tarts

Ingredients

• 12 unbaked tart shells (store-bought or homemade pastry)
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp white vinegar
• 1/2 cup raisins or chopped pecans (optional)
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 200C (400F) and arrange the tart shells on a baking sheet.
2. 2In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar and melted butter until smooth.
3. 3Whisk in the eggs, vanilla, vinegar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
4. 4If using, scatter a few raisins or pecans into the bottom of each tart shell.
5. 5Carefully pour the filling into each shell, filling about three-quarters full.
6. 6Bake for 15-18 minutes until the filling is puffed and just set but still slightly runny in the center for the classic gooey texture.
7. 7Cool the tarts on a wire rack; the filling will sink and firm up slightly as they cool.
8. 8Serve at room temperature.
