Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F. (190°C). Line the tart tins with the pastry. (Paper muffin tin liners make removal of the tarts easier.) In a saucepan, melt the butter. Add the brown and white sugar, corn syrup, vinegar and vanilla. Bring to a simmer, stirring to prevent burning. Remove from the heat. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time. Fill the tart shells three-quarters full. Bake, watching constantly, for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 12 tarts — enough for 2 to 4 afficionados.
