Raisin Tart Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 1/2 cups raisins
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, butter, sugar, and salt. Mix with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture is crumbly. Add beaten egg and milk. Mix until the dough comes together.
3. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Transfer the dough to the prepared tart pan. With a sharp knife, trim the excess dough from the edges.
4. In a medium saucepan, combine raisins, water, honey, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the mixture is thickened. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust.
5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
