How to cook Butter tarts

Prepare the crust

● In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar.● Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.● Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together.● Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll out the crust

● Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).● On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to 1/8 inch thickness.● Cut circles of dough and place them into greased muffin tins.● Trim the edges of the dough, leaving a little overhang.

Prepare the filling

● In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.● Add brown sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla extract, stirring to combine.● Beat one egg in a small bowl and add it to the saucepan, whisking to combine.

Fill the crust
