Steps:
- Fill a cup with ice and water. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Cut in the shortening to make pea-size pieces. Add the tablespoons of ice water from the cup until dough holds together. Form the dough into a ball. The dough is now complete. Put it into a plastic bag or wrap it up and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- Roll the dough between two sheets of waxed paper. Cut the shells using a large glass or your smallest pot. You should have about 12 shells when finished. Put these shells into a greased muffin or tart pan.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
- Put walnuts and coconut on baking pan and roast for 5-10 minutes, until brown. Remove from oven and set temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Fill the bottom of each tart shell with about 10 raisins each.
- Whisk together sugar, egg, butter, vanilla and hot water. Add coconut and walnuts. Pour mixture into tart shells, filling 2/3 full and no more.
- Bake in 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before attempting to remove. Makes 12 tarts.

AWARD-WINNING BUTTER TARTS
Butter tarts are a Canadian tradition. Waaaay back in the 1970s, a national contest here in Canada concluded that these butter tarts, originating from Wilkie's Bakery in Orillia, Ontario, were the best. I certainly think so and it's the only recipe I use. Add a sprinkle of toasted walnuts when you add the raisins, if you wish, or use only walnuts if you don't like raisins.

Steps:
- Prepare muffin pans by rolling out pie dough and cutting 4-inch (approx) circles; fit dough circles into muffin cups; set aside in fridge until ready to fill.
- In a small bowl, place raisins and cover with hot tap water; let stand on the counter for 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, mix together the soft butter, brown sugar, salt and corn syrup; stir well until sugar is dissolved and butter is creamed.
- Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
- Drain raisins.
- Retrieve tart shells and divide raisins equally into all shells; then divide butter mixture into all tarts.
- Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes; filling will be lightly browned but still bubbling.
- Canadians fall into two camps about butter tarts and are quite loyal to their favourite type: runny or firm.
- I like runny-- the type that dribbles when you bite into one; if you like firm, bake them for the full 20 minutes, even adding another minute or two if you wish.
- Let cooked butter tarts cool in pans for 10 minutes after removing from oven; then remove and place on racks until completely cool.

BUTTER TARTS TO DIE FOR
Steps:
- Cut lard into cubes(about 1 inch) and freeze. Mix together flour, salt, and baking powder in the bowl of a food processor. After the lard is frozen, add to the food processor. Pulse until the flour mixture is crumbly and resembles small peas. Add the liquid mixture through the feed tube. Continue until the mixture forms a ball. Divide into four and form into flat disks. Chill for about 15 minutes. Roll out about 1/4 of the dough on a floured board until 1/8 inch thick. Cut to the appropriate size and line the tart tins. While I am making the filling, I place the lined tart tins in the freezer. You get flakier pastry if you keep it chilled before baking. Making the Filling: In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add brown sugar, and syrup and mix together. Slightly beat the eggs, and gradually add to the mixture beating constantly. Add salt, and vanilla and mix well. Place a tblsp. of raisins in each tart shell. Add the syrup mixture til about 3/4 full. Bake in a 400° oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Remove from oven and cool slightly before removing from tins. These do freeze well.(that's if they last long enough) NOTE: I believe that corn syrup is called karo syrup in the United States and is the same thing as corn syrup.
SANDRA'S BUTTER TARTS
This is super easy to prepare, especially if you are using prepared pastry tart shells. Even when I only have a few minutes I can still prepare something home-baked. It will be hard to keep these around for too long. My boys ask for them often.
