  • Makes: 1 serving (88.3 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 25 g Pie crust, unbaked
  • 20 g Sugar, brown
  • 10 g Butter, unsalted
  • 15 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 10 g Corn syrup
  • 0.3 g Vanilla extract
  • 8 g Raisins

Method

  1. Makes 1 tart; multiply by 12 for a batch of 12. Line a small tart or muffin tin with the pastry and chill while you make the filling.
  2. Melt the butter, then whisk in the brown sugar, corn syrup, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Scatter the raisins in the pastry shell and pour the filling over, filling about two-thirds full.
  4. Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 15-18 minutes until the pastry is golden and the filling is set but still a little jammy in the center.
  5. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing; the filling firms up as it cools.
