How to Make Great Canadian Butter Tarts

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Gently place pre-made tart shells into a muffin tin.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Stir in the raisins (optional) and pecans (optional).
Carefully fill each tart shell with approximately 1 tablespoon of the filling.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Let the tarts cool slightly in the muffin tin before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, top with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
