Donna Mott of Ooh De Lolli food service bakes out of a vintage kitchen in downtown Fresno, Calif., that's perfect for a vintage recipe like currant tarts. Her version of this classic needs just five ingredients and a prepared pie crust. Tarts can be made with a number of fillings, but Zante currants add sweetness to every bite.
Currant Tarts
1 egg
2 tablespoons of butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup dried currants
1 tablespoon of vinegar
1 pie crust
Mix egg, butter, sugar, currants and vinegar together. Use a cookie cutter to cut 2 or 3 inch shells out of a prepared crust.
Line tart pans with crust. Divide filling evenly among tart shells. Bake for 15 minutes at 375 degrees.
