Butter Tart Squares Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• To Make Base: In a small mixer bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter or margarine and confectioners' sugar. Blend in flour. Pat into 9X9 inch square pan. Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes.
• To Make Filling: In a large bowl combine brown sugar, melted butter or margarine, beaten eggs, vinegar, vanilla, and raisins. Pour over base and bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until set.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Place raisins in a cup; pour in hot water to cover, and set aside to soak, about 5 minutes.
• Place 1 1/2 cups flour in a large bowl; cut in 1/2 cup butter until crumbly. Stir 1/4 cup brown sugar into flour mixture; press mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, leaving oven on.
• Beat 1 cup brown sugar and 1/3 cup butter together until smooth; stir in egg, vanilla extract, and cream. Strain raisins; stir raisins and 1 tablespoon flour into butter mixture. Pour raisin mixture over crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling is bubbly, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting into squares, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper to overhang the sides.
• For the pastry: Add the flour, sugar and salt to a large bowl or the bowl of your food processor and mix/pulse to combine. Add the melted butter and mix until moist and crumbly. Transfer to your prepared pan and press into the bottom and about 1/2 centimeter (1/4 inch) up the sides.
• Dock the crust all over with a fork and bake for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for the filling: Whisk together the sugar, corn syrup, maple syrup, eggs, melted butter, vinegar, vanilla extract and salt in a large bowl.
• Sprinkle the crust with the pecans and raisins and pour over the filling. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is just set but still a bit wobbly.
• Cool to room temperature before removing from the pan and slicing into squares.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk 1 cup flour and white sugar together in a bowl; cut 1/2 cup cold butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender until crumbly. Press flour mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch square cake pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove to cool slightly, leaving oven on.
• Whisk eggs and 2 tablespoons melted butter together in a bowl; whisk in brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Stir raisins and pecans into egg mixture; pour over the base.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top springs back when touched, about 20 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Lingtly grease and line 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, letting paper hang slightly over two sides of pan to use as handles for easy removal of squares.
• BASE: Cream butter and brown sugar until combined. Add flour and beat until mixture is a soft dough. Press dough evenly into bottom of prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
• FILLING: Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in corn syrup, eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour and baking powder. Sprinkle raisins over baked pastry base. Pour filling over raisins.
• Bake 25 minutes or until filling is set. Cool. Loosen edges of pastry and remove from pan. Cut into squares.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x9 inch baking pan.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Bake for 15 minutes in preheated oven. Crust should not be fully cooked.
• In a large bowl, mix together the eggs and remaining brown sugar. Combine the oats, salt, and baking powder; stir into the egg mixture along with the vanilla. Mix in raisins and coconut, if desired. Spread the mixture evenly over the partially baked crumb layer in pan.
• Bake 20 minutes more. Cool, and cut into squares.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Make the crust: In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and salt. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in butter until well combined and crumbly. It will be dry and sandy. Press flour mixture evenly into a 9-inch (23-centimeter) square pan and bake for 15 minutes.
• As the crust bakes, make the filling: In a bowl, mix butter, cream, vanilla, raisins (if using), brown sugar, egg and flour until combined. Spread to edges over partly baked crust.
• Return to oven and bake 14 to 20 minutes more or until golden brown (squares made with dark brown sugar will be a deeper shade of amber). A few minutes after removing it from the oven, run a knife or offset spatula around the edges to loosen any sugar that is stuck to the pan. Let pan cool to room temperature, then chill in a refrigerator. Once cold, use a sharp knife to slice into squares, approximately 1 3/4 inch (4.5 centimeters).
