Five Roses Cookbook Prize Butter Tarts
Description
The Five Roses Cookbook Prize Butter Tarts recipe starts by melting butter or margarine and mixing it with brown sugar, egg, cream, and vanilla to form a smooth, sweet filling. Raisins are folded in for added chew and sweetness. Unbaked, frozen tart shells are filled about three-quarters full to allow room for the filling to bubble and set without spilling.
Baking at 375°F, the tarts develop browned, crisp edges with a bubbling, sticky filling that sets as it cools. Using frozen tart shells ensures the pastry remains firm and does not leak or soften excessively during baking. This method creates a classic butter tart textural contrast between flaky crust and gooey interior.
The recipe yields 15 to 18 tarts and can be easily doubled or tripled. Nutritional content will vary depending on the specific ingredients used.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup raisins
- ⅓ cup margarine or butter melted
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 15-18 tart shells unsweetened and unbaked
Instructions
- Kick the tires and light the fires and pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees
- Melt your butter then add in the vanilla,egg, cream and brown sugar.
- Mix in the raisins.
- Put your tart shells, still frozen, on the tray and fill a good ¾ of the way. I say still frozen because I have found when they are defrosted the filling leaks through the pasty, not ruining them, but making them softer. A good frozen tart shell will hold the contents in, and cook at the same time.
- Bake in a 375 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, until the rims of the tarts are beautifully browned and the filling is bubbling.
Notes
- Using frozen tart shells helps prevent leakage and leads to a firmer crust after baking.
- The recipe’s yield is 15-18 tarts, and it scales well for larger batches.
- Nutritional values depend on ingredients and brands used.
