I guess I should start by saying "Sorry Grandma... the secret is out!"

This simple recipe has been in our family for decades and continues to be an ABSOLUTE MUST at Christmas. 

Honestly, they're amazing anytime... but have these rich, buttery beauties grace your table this holiday season and you'll be taking requests from family and friends ALL YEAR LONG. 

Enjoy! 

Single batch makes approximately 12 tarts
