Ingredients
- 75 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 150 grams Raisins
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 12 pieces Unbaked tart shells
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and arrange the unbaked tart shells on a baking sheet. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from the heat and stir in the brown sugar until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the vanilla extract and vinegar until smooth. Gradually add the egg mixture to the saucepan with the butter and sugar, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.
Step 4
Fold in the raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the filling.
Step 5
Carefully spoon the filling into the tart shells, filling each about two-thirds full. Be cautious not to overfill, as the filling will bubble up during baking.
Step 6
Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the filling is golden brown and slightly set (it will firm up as it cools).
Step 7
Remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool in the baking tray for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Serve at room temperature and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
