How to Make Butter Tarts

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in the eggs and vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly.
Roll out the pastry dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter or glass to cut out circles.
Press each pastry circle into a mini muffin tin. Fill each pastry shell with about 1 tablespoon of the filling.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
Let the tarts cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
