Best Buttertarts - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    30 inches pies worth prepared pastry dough, like Century-Old Nuns Pastry Dough
    12 ounces butter, melted
    3 cups dark brown sugar, packed
    2 cups golden syrup
    1 cup amber honey
    5 eggs
    2 egg yolks
    3 tablespoons vanilla
    1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
    1 1/2 teaspoons lemon rind
    1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F and grease 2 jumbo muffin pans.
    Roll out half the pastry dough at a time to 1/4\" thick and cut out 18-22 circles. Feel free to re-roll the pastry scraps - they stay unbelievably tender.
    Press the dough into the tins, saving the remaining circles for the second batch of baking.
    Place in the fridge while preparing the filling.
    In a large bowl, beat the melted butter and sugar for 2 minutes.
    Add the remaining ingredients and mix until just combined.
    Spoon into the pastry shells, filling half- to three-quarters full.
    Bake for 26 minutes.
    Cool for 2 hours in the pan, then gently remove with a butter knife, loosening edges and lifting out.
    Repeat with the remaining pastry and filling.
