What's Cookin' Butter Tarts Ingredients (pastry) · 2 cups cake and pastry flour · 1/4 tsp salt · 1 cup shortening · 2-3 tbsp cold water Method (pastry) Add salt to flour and blend in shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives. Even blend in with your hands, using a gentle touch. Sprinkle in water slowly and mix only until pastry comes together. You can add another dash of water if necessary. The pastry should not be sticky at all. Do not overwork the pastry. This seems to be a common problem with pastry makers. This causes the pastry to become tough and shrink. Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured counter. Cut the tarts with a drinking glass if you don't have a tart cutter. Place the pastry shells gently in greased tart tins. · 1/2 cup brown sugar · 1/4 tsp salt · 1/2 cup corn syrup · 1 egg, slightly beaten · 1/2 tsp vanilla · 1/2 tsp lemon juice Method (filling) Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
