Equipment

Ingredients

24 Tart shells uncooked, homemade or store bought
2/3 Cup Butter softened
2 Cups Light Brown sugar
2 Large Eggs
1/4 Cup Milk
2 tsp Vanilla
1.5 Cups Raisins

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
If making your own pastry, roll and cut your pastry into rounds with a 3.5 inch cutter, or the lid of a wide mouth mason jar. Lightly spray 2 12-cup muffin tins with non-stick spray and gently press the shells into the muffin tins.
In a medium size bowl, beat the butter and sugar together, then beat in the eggs, milk and vanilla until smooth.
Stir in the raisins.
Spoon filling into each of the shells, filling to 2/3 full.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow to cool in the muffin tin, then remove and store in an airtight container.
