Ingredients
- A batch of twenty small, uncooked tart shells measuring three inches each
- A generous half cup of rich, packed brown sugar
- A quarter cup of softened butter for a touch of creaminess
- Two whole eggs for a luscious texture
- A full cup of luscious golden corn syrup to sweeten the mix
- A single teaspoon of fragrant vanilla extract for a hint of sweetness
- Half a teaspoon of zesty lemon juice to add a tangy kick
- A quarter teaspoon of aromatic ground cardamom for a unique flavor
- An eighth teaspoon each of warm ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger
- A cup of plump raisins for a burst of fruity goodness
Step 1
To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and prepare a baking sheet for the tart shells.
Step 2
Using an electric mixer, combine brown sugar and butter until the mixture is creamy. Next, add in the eggs, corn syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a blend of aromatic spices like cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
Step 3
Evenly distribute the raisins into the tart shells, then carefully pour approximately 2 tablespoons of the syrup mixture into each shell.
Step 4
Pop the filled tart shells into the preheated oven and bake until the pastry turns a lovely golden hue and the filling sets, typically around 20 minutes. Once done, allow the tarts to cool on a wire rack before serving.
