Not cider? I've never had an issue with actually tasting the vinegar once the tarts cooked. For my palate, the vinegar just cuts the sweet. But if you taste the vinegar, try cutting back or even omitting it.<br /><br />These are not gooey, drip on the plate butter tarts, so there is less butter. I love how there are so many versions out there. Do you like yours runny? If so, then the higher butter ratio would be in line. Bill'n Alli, did you use plain white vinegar? Not cider?

Do you notice that taste when you makes them? I was surprised at how little butter you use.....a baker at a favourite spot that we used to buy b'tarts at in Hillsdale told me that they used equal parts of sugar and butter. Happy baking!

When I say "raw tart shells", I mean unbaked. Because the filling is baked in the oven the shells do not need to be pre-cooked.<br/><br/>Hope this answers your question. In case you're interested, I posted a recipe for pastry and included a shot of the tarts before they're removed from the tins.<br/><br/>http://christie-corner.blogspot.com/2008/04/vinegar-how-sweet-it-is.html Thanks for asking!
