Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt.
Add solid coconut oil to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, incorporate the coconut oil until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough begins to come together. Do not overmix.
Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a round cutter to cut 12 circles to fit into a standard muffin tin.
Gently press the dough circles into the wells of the muffin tin to form tart shells.
In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, maple syrup, cornstarch, a pinch of salt, dairy-free milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
If using, scatter some raisins into the bottom of each tart shell.
Pour filling mixture into each tart shell, filling about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is lightly golden.
Allow the tarts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve at room temperature or slightly warm and enjoy your dairy-free delightful butter tarts with a cup of tea!
