Directions:
Mix well the first 5 ingredients.
Beat egg in cup; add vinegar and fill with water to 1 cup.
Add to flour mixture and chill dough.
This can be kept in freezer for months.


Beat together all but raisins and nuts.
Pour into container with pouring lid (this can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days).
Roll out crust and cut into circles to fit tart or muffin tins (I use small foil tart pans).
Put about 1 teaspoon raisins (enough to make 1 layer) on bottom of shell and sprinkle with finely chopped nuts.
Then pour in enough syrup to cover raisins (more if you want a juicier tart).
Bake at 425 degrees for about 10 minutes until golden.
