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 into a ball Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Make the filling while you wait for the dough to chill. FILLING Preheat oven to 325°. Combine corn syrup, sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla and salt in a mixing bowl. Beat until smooth. Add chopped pecans and raisins, and stir to combine. Reserve some pecans to place in the bottom of each tart. 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 (approx 1-2u0022 diameter tart pan). Fit the dough into each hole and pinch the excess dough around the edges. Place a few pieces of chopped pecans into each dough slot then add the filling just below the top of each tart. Bake for 25-30 min. Remove immediately and place on a cooling rack for about 10 min. Serve at room temp. Store in the fridge in an airtight container, or freeze.View original recipe
