Ingredients
Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. With a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until only pea sized pieces remain. Add cold water until the dough is shaggy, form into a disc, cover and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Roll the chilled dough to ⅛” thickness, cut into 4” circles, and press into a muffin tin. Chill again while preparing the filling.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, butter, egg, vanilla, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg until smooth.
- If using raisins, distribute them in tart shells, then fill with the syrup mixture halfway.
- Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F, lower to 350°F, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until filling is bubbling.
- Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before removing from the pan.
