Butter Tarts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 tart shells
1/3 cup butter
2 tablespoons milk
1 egg, beaten
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup pecans or 1/2 cup raisins

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450\u00b0F.
In a saucepan, melt butter on low; add all the remaining ingredients except the raisins and/or pecans.
Do not let it boil or the egg will cook.
Fill tart shells (I use ready-made ones) only 2/3 full and top with a whole pecan if desired.
Bake at 450\u00b0F for 8 minutes and then reduce temperature to 350\u00b0F for 15-20 minutes until delicately browned.
