Ingredients

12 servings

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 5 tablespoons ice water
  • 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
  • 0.5 cup flaked coconut
  • 0.5 cup raisins
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon hot water
  • 0.5 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Make the crust: Sift flour and salt into a bowl. Cut in shortening until pieces are pea-sized. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until dough comes together. Form dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin or tart pan. Place walnuts and flaked coconut onto a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Unwrap dough and roll between two sheets of waxed paper. Cut 12 circles using a round cutter; press one circle into each prepared muffin cup. Divide raisins evenly among crusts.
  • Bake walnuts and coconut in the preheated oven until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and increase the temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, whisk brown sugar, egg, hot water, butter, and vanilla together in a bowl. Stir in walnuts and coconut. Pour mixture into tart shells, filling no more than 2/3 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely before removing from the pan.
