Butter Tarts

*THESE* are butter tarts circa 1890's (family recipe)

First off I'm not giving you the pastry recipe. I think I already posted that awhile ago. Personally it's too piddly to fool around making pastry for *tarts*...go buy some tart shells *gg*.

Now for the good part...
For 12 tarts...increase ingredients accordingly for more.

1 Egg, whisked
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp Butter
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp bourbon or rum
     (can also use 2 tsp. and skip the vanilla...originally it was if you didn't have vanilla!)
1/3 to 1/2 cup Raisins (less raisins if you like more goo)
Optional: 2 Tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts

Mix 'er up and spoon into tart shells. Bake at 375ºF for 10-15 minutes until the filling rises.
