Real Canadian Butter Tarts - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup butter, melted
    3 tablespoons vinegar
    4 eggs, lightly beaten
    4 cups brown sugar
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    1/4 cup currants
Preparation
    Line tart tins with pastry. Sprinkle 6-8 currants into each tart shell.
    Let butter cool to room temp, then add the remaining ingredients. Stir until smooth.
    Spoon into unbaked tart shells, filling about 2/3 full.
    Bake at 200F for 15 min, then without taking the tarts out, turn the oven to 350\u00b0F Bake another 10-15 min, until they start to brown. This method will prevent them from boiling over.
    Note: I use Tenderflake lard and make the pastry using the instructions on the box, chilling the dough before rolling. Roll it a little thicker than for pie pastry, and use a little extra flour.
