Butter Tarts have been a favourite Canadian dessert for as long as anyone can remember. They're made with a flaky pastry crust and a rich, sweet filling that's made from a blend of butter, sugar, and corn syrup. Some people like to add raisins to their butter tarts, while others prefer them plain. Either way, they're a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth!

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.	In a bowl, beat the egg with a fork and then mix in the corn syrup, brown sugar, butter, vanilla and salt.
3.	Once the mixture is smooth, stir in the raisins.
4.	Next, divide the mixture among the 12 prepared tart shells.
5.	Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
