Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Grease well a 12 tin muffin tin and set aside.
Place the raisins in a small bowl and cover with hot tap water. Let stand on the counter for 30 minutes.
Pastry:
Combine the flour and sugar into a large bowl and whisk until mixed.
Cut in the butter using a fork or pastry cutter until dough is crumbly.
Add the milk and combine with a fork. Treat dough gently and just mix until a dough ball is formed. Don't over mix.
Place dough onto a clean floured surface. Cover with a clean tea towel or parchment paper and roll out to 1/5 inch thickness.
With a 3 1/2 inch cookie cutter or glass cut out 12 circles.
Place a pastry shell in each tin and press it in to shape. Place tin in the refrigerator until filling is made.
Filling:
In a large bowl, mix together the soft butter, brown sugar, soy milk, vanilla and chia egg; stir well until sugar is dissolved and butter is creamed.
Add the cornstarch and mix well.
Drain the soaked raisins well.
Tarts:
Retrieve tarts shells from the refrigerator and fill each with an equal amount of raisins and then pecans.
Top with filling, filling tins 3/4 full.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until pastry edges are nicely browned and filling is bubbly.
Remove from heat and let sit in muffin tin for 10 minutes.
Remove from tin and let finish cooling on a baking rack.
