I made up this recipe for butter tarts with a graham crust. I hope you all enjoy it as much as my family does!
Ingredients
Graham Crust
- 2 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 11 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Butter Tart Filling
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup half-and-half
- ½ cup raisins, or as needed (Optional)
- ½ cup chopped pecans, or as needed (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
Step 2
Stir graham cracker crumbs and white sugar together in a bowl; stir in melted butter until crumbs are coated. Press crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and partway up sides of prepared muffin cups.
Step 3
Bake shells in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove shells from oven and keep oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 4
Beat brown sugar and softened butter together in a bowl until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat eggs into sugar mixture, adding one at a time and beating until fully incorporated before adding next; beat in vanilla extract. Stir half-and-half into sugar mixture.
Step 5
Place a spoonful of raisins and pecans into the bottom of each shell; pour about 1/4 cup sugar mixture into each shell.
Step 6
Bake tarts in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 15 minutes. Remove tarts from oven and cool completely on a wire rack, about 15 minutes.
