This recipe has been past down from my Grandma to so many people. I have tasted many butter tarts, but these are definitely the best. Everyone who has ever tasted one has asked for the recipe. We make these every year at Christmas. Hope you enjoy these as much as my family does.

This was my Grandma's recipe and has been a family favorite for years. Every time she would make these we would practically inhale them. Now, I make them on all the holidays. My family absolutely raves about them. They get gobbled up so fast that I always have to make a couple batches! Note: I don't put raisins and nuts in the filling mixture at first. I add them to each individual tart after I've poured in the mixture. About 5-8 raisins and a sprinkle of nuts to each tart. Also, to get a really flakey crust, keep all ingredients and utensils cold. I put my bowl, rolling pin, pastry whisk, and the flour I will use in the freezer prior to making and I keep the butter and shortening in the fridge until ready to use
