I have always wanted to make butter tarts, and this was a great first try. I had my husband go out and buy me lemon extract. Don't waste your money, it's really not that nice of a taste. Will be leaving that out the next time I make them. Also, i used pre-made mini tart shells and only cooked them for about 12 minutes instead of 20-25 min. Oh- I almost forgot, a little to heavy on the raisins for me. Otherwise a nice butter tart!

Couldn't have asked for a better tart recipe. I didn't have lemon extract but the vanilla was perfect. They rose up and browned beautifully!

These are lovely and amazingly quick to make. I wish they were just a little runnier in the center but the flavour was wonderful. I've already made these twice since the first time and have gotten many compliments!

This recipe is quick and easy and the butter tarts taste pretty good. My personal preference, though, is a butter tart with more of a gooey filling and perhaps fewer raisins.

I loved the simplicity of this recipe. I made this with my mini muffin pan and cut out pre-made pie dough into tiny circles and filled them according to the recipe. The only thing I did not like was the lemony after taste from the extract. Next time I will only use vanilla- otherwise...YUMMY!

These were very easy to make and were pretty darn tasty. I used chopped walnuts with my filling and cooked them for 10 minutes at 400, then another 10 at 300 and that was enough! I did find the consistency to be a little too granular.

Delicious! I made two batches, the first with raisins and the next with pecans and they both turned out well :) I did however I did make my own smaller pastry cups and so I didn't leave them in as longs as suggested.

I followed the directions to the "T" and had to reduce the baking time to almost half. Also not runny enough in the centre. Won't make them again.

I loved these. I did not add the Lemon Extract as I did not have any and they turned out wonderful. I cooked mine for about 14 minutes and that was plenty of time. I also used pre made tart shells. Highley Recommend this tart.

This one is close to tasting like traditional Canadian butter tarts, but does not include walnuts and is not runny enough in the center if the recipe is followed to the T.

An easy recipe to follow. Perfect for those store-bought tart shells. The filling did "puff-up" for me in the oven, but goes down as it cools off. Excellent recipe! Thanks!

These were all right but I have had better. I left out the lemon as a previous poster had mentioned. I think I would try a different recipe next time. It also seemed like I had an awful lot of raisins.

This is a very simple recipe for something so good! I left out the lemon juice, I thought it might take away from the sweetness I was looking for. I also cut the cooking time in half, that's very important. I started out at 400 for 10 minutes like the original directions suggest, but then I only cooked them for another 10 minutes at 350 instead of 20 to 25. I've had one to eat already, I didn't give it enough time to completely set so the filling was a bit runny still. They need a good hour before the syrup thickens. I had left over pie crust in the freezer from another recipe I worked with over Easter, so all of this came together very quickly. I will make this recipe again, but next time I'll trim my nails first - it was hard to press the crust into the tins without making slits, hehe!

These were great little tarts! I agree that the cooking time was a little too long. I didn't read all of the reviews before I made them and mine were just a little too brown. I left out the raisins and thought they were wonderful!

These are scrumptious! I left out the lemon extract the second time I made them and we liked them even better. Also good with pecans substituted for the raisins!

This was the fastest & yummiest recipe ever. My husand LOVED these butter tarts and has already asked me to make another batch. I did cut the cooking time by 8 minutes, they turned out perfect.

this was an excellent recipe, although I found out on all three times I made this that you need to reduce the final cooking time by half and at a much lower heat or else they over cook, then they turn out wonderful. I have already made 10 batches since I used this receipe and my freinds and family love them!

A really good, easy and fast recipe. I used mini tart shells and it made 22 tarts. The cooking time has to be reduced so watch closely. I will use this recipe from now on.
