Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • butter tart shells (24 or 2 dozen)
  • Butter Tart Filling
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 TBSP corn syrup
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Optional: walnuts, raisins, pecans

Instructions

    Preheat oven to 350 F.

    Add the following ingredients to the mixing bowl: eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt.

    Mix all ingredients until well incorporated. (about 5 minutes)

    Optional: Sprinkle each tart shell with chopped walnuts (or use your favorite like raisins, pecan...)

    Pour filling into each shell but don't fill up, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. (I used 1 TBSP + 1 tsp of butter tart filling). BTW, 1/4 inch is about 5 mm.

    Bake at 350 F for about 20 minutes. (start checking after 15 minutes)

    Cool it.

    Serve at room temperature.

    Storage: Store them in the fridge for about 3 days.
