Ingredients

• Tart Crust:
• 1 c. butter, softened
• 2 3-oz pkgs cream cheese, softened
• 2 c. all-purpose flour (I used whole wheat pastry)
• Raisin Filling:
• 2 eggs
• 2 c. brown sugar, packed(I used raw sugar)
• 2/3 c. butter, melted
• 1/4 c. evaporated milk
• 1 t. vanilla
• 4 t. all-purpose flour (I used whole wheat pastry)
• 1 c. raisins

Instructions

1. Tart Crust:
2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix the butter and cream cheese together; stir in the flour. Cover and chill for an hour or so, until dough is easy to handle (I chilled mine overnight because I ran out of time and it still worked). Shape the dough into 1-3/4" balls. Press into bottoms and sides of an ungreased muffin pan.
3. Raisin Filling:
4. In a small bowl, beat eggs, sugar and butter. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
5. Fill each cup with a heaping teaspoon of filling. Bake tarts for 8-10 minutes. Let them cool for several minutes before removing. Finish cooling on a wire rack.
6. Makes 3 dozen.
