Hey, this is a great twist on an old favourite. My hubby loves butter tarts, but I find them a pain to make. This is an excellent alternative!

I tried and the topping boiled over the dish. I think 2 tbsp of baking powdwe is to much. Maybe a typo...2 tsp of baking powder ould seem right. top burnt as well because it was so high.

Jannett said...

conrad...yes it was a typo...I have changed it..sorry it did not turn out....if you try them again with the proper baking powder it will be much better... :)

My hubby doesn't care for raisins, do you think you could use something else, like dates, or pineapple in the tarts?

Jannett said...

anonymous...not sure about the pineapple..but you could give it a try...You could use walnuts, pecans instead of the raisins...you could also cut up the raisins and add the nuts and he may not notice....:)

Jannett said...

Nancy...So glad you enjoyed them. :)

These remind me of a delicious bread pudding, all nice and compacted in a bar. Sounds sooo good! I would love to feature your recipe in our Demy, the first and only digital recipe reader. You can find out more about the Demy here: http://mydemy.com/
