Ingredients

• 75 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Brown sugar, packed
• 60 ml Corn syrup
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 5 ml Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 120 grams Raisins
• 120 grams Pecans, chopped
• 12 pieces Premade tart shells

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

Step 2

Place the tart shells onto the prepared baking tray and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar and corn syrup, stirring until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Slowly pour the melted butter mixture into the eggs, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from scrambling.

Step 5

Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the mixture, and stir until well combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the raisins and chopped pecans into the filling mixture.

Step 7

Carefully spoon the filling into the prepared tart shells, filling each about three-quarters full to leave room for expansion during baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the tart shells are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool in the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the tarts slightly warm or at room temperature. They pair beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
