Alyssa'S Butter-Fly Tarts

• Pastry
• 2 cups cake-and-pastry flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold butter
• 3 tablespoons cold shortening
• 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons ice water
• Filling
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup dark rum (or water)
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup golden syrup
• 1/3 cup butter (softened)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon clear vanilla
• 1 egg (beaten)

1. PASTRY: Preheat oven to 400u0b0F.
2. Combine flour and salt in a medium bowl; cut in butter and shortening until pieces are about the size of small peas.
3. Stir lemon juice into 3 tbsp of ice water; stir into flour mixture, adding more ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, if needed, to just moisten.
4. Press together to form a ball of dough; flatten into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
5. Roll out pastry and cut into 4-inch (approx) circles using a round cookie cutter or the open end of a drinking glass.
6. Fit pastry circles into muffin cups; refridgerate while preparing the filling.
7. FILLING: Place raisins into a small bowl and cover with rum that has been warmed in the microwave or a small pot (or hot tap water) to soak and soften while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
8. Mix the brown sugar, golden corn syrup, butter and salt together in a medium bowl until the sugar is dissolved and no butter streaks are visible.
9. Add vanilla and egg and mix until combined.
10. ASSEMBLY: Drain raisins and divide among tart shells; add approximately 2 tbsp of filling to each tart shell.
11. Bake 15 - 18 minutes or until the filling is lightly browned and bubbling.
12. Remove from oven and cool in the muffin pans for 10 minutes; remove from pans and cool completely on racks.
