    Instructions
     

    MAKE THE DOUGH

    • Using an electric hand mixer, combine butter and cream cheese and blend well until combined and fluffy.
    • Add flour and mix by hand until you can form the dough into a ball
    • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Make the filling while you wait for the dough to chill.

    FILLING

    • Preheat oven to 325° and prepare a mini muffin tin or tart pan (approx 1-2 inch diameter tart pan) by spraying the slots with nonstick baking spray (Baker's Joy) or brushing each slot with butter. Set aside
    • Combine corn syrup, sugar, eggs, butter and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Beat until smooth.
    • Add chopped pecans and raisins, and stir to combine.

    ASSEMBLE

    • Roll out dough on floured surface until very thin. Use a biscuit cutter to make rounds and place each round into tart or mini muffin pan slots. Fit the dough into each hole and pinch the excess dough around the edges. Add the filling to each tart just below the top of the dough
    • Bake for 25-30 min or until the filling is nice and bubbly.
    • Remove immediately and place the tarts in the pan on a cooling rack for about 10 min, then remove each tart gently with a fork and place on the rack to continue cooling. Serve at room temp. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 5 months.
