Salted Caramel Butter Tarts by Dianne Higgins, Owner of Higgins House (adapted from the Laura Secord Canadian Cookbook) The first time I baked these I over-baked them slightly, causing the tops to turn a dark brown. I decided I liked them better that way as the sugar had caramelized. I also noticed that like a lot of old recipes, they lacked salt, so I sprinkled a light dusting of sea salt on the tops of each and found it really enhanced the flavour. We regularly sell out of these at the Horton Street Market. Ingredients Filling • 1 cup mixed raisins (I use a mix of sultanas, as well as black and golden Thompson raisins) • 1/4 cup soft butter • 1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar • 1 cup corn syrup • 2 eggs • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 1 tsp lemon juice • Sea salt, for sprinkling Food Processor Pastry • 2½ cups all purpose flour (you can substitute 1 cup pastry flour for a flakier crust if desired) • 1 tsp salt • 1/2 cup frozen butter, cut into 1-inch chunks • 1/2 cup frozen vegetable shortening, cut into 1-inch chunks (or use all butter if desired) • 1/4 cup very cold water
Directions Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, cream the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the water and molasses. Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Shape dough into walnut-sized balls and roll them gently in a bowl of sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto a parchment-lined sheet pan and flatten slightly. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on a baking sheet for 5 minutes. Sprinkle cookies with a small amount of sugar. Christmas and Palmer’s Maple Syrup Just Go Together Perfect for Breakfast, Cooking Baking, Cocktails & More
