This wonderful butter tart is a perfect accompaniment to a cup of coffee. It's a variation on the traditional Canadian butter tart, a small tartlet baked with a filling of butter, brown sugar, syrup, and eggs. After baking, the filling remains semi-soft with a crispy crust. You can also make a pie topping with the same ingredients, pour it over the crust, and bake it in the oven. The tart tastes just like a butter tart—warm and rich—only in an even richer form. Perfect for a small gathering.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease a 22cm springform pan and dust with flour, shaking off any excess.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, then stir in the brown sugar. Using a knife, fold in the butter until you have a lumpy mixture with visible chunks of butter.
In a separate bowl, mix with a whisk sour cream, egg, and vanilla and add to the flour mixture, beating with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed, or whisking vigorously by hand, until smooth, light, and fluffy, about 3 minutes. - Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spread it evenly, and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cake for 10 minutes while you prepare the topping.
- ToppingWhisk together the brown sugar, flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, melted butter, whiskey or brandy (if using), and vanilla. Pour into the sugar mixture and whisk until evenly combined. Stir in the raisins.
- Pour the topping over the slightly cooled crust and distribute the raisins evenly over the surface (sometimes the raisins clump when pouring the topping). Return the crust to the preheated oven at 175°C for 20 minutes, until the topping is bubbling and set. Cool the pie to room temperature before serving. The pie can be stored wrapped for 3 days at room temperature..
