Aunt Joanie’s Butter Tarts

by Rita Macdonald

 

Ingredients for Pie Crust:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 t salt
  • 2/3 cup shortening
  • 1/3 cup water

Roll out and cut with a small glass, just big enough to fit a muffin tin.

Ingredients for filling:

  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup sifted brown sugar
  • 2 T milk
  • 1/2 cup raisins (or 1 cup if you really like raisins)
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1 t vanilla

Directions:  Mix together and put spoonfuls into the tart shells.  Bake at 450 for 8 minutes, or at 350 for 10-15 minutes.

*I always remember Aunt Joanie making these for cousin Lynn MacInnis’ husband Robbie.  I also remember that Aunt Irene always had them when we visited her apartment in Toronto!

I am a very imperfect follower of Jesus. Much of my journey in learning to follow Christ – as a single mother and now as an empty nester – has taken place at my kitchen table. I invite you to pull up a chair, enjoy the stories, maybe even collect a recipe or two!
