This is a great basic recipe. I divided the recipe and made Grandma's Butter Tarts Recipe129363 in muffin tins using half of the dough. I refrigerated the rest for a few days then rolled it out into the muffin tins again and made chili tarts using canned chili with beans, minced Colby jack cheese, minced onion, and minced Roma tomato. This is now my go to recipe.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
