• Cut butter and shortening together using a fork or pastry whisk utensil.
• Slowly add salt and flour to the butter and shortening cutting it in until the mixture looks like small crumbles.
• Add cold water one tablespoon at a time until the dough sticks together.
• Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.
• Use a wide mouthed glass (I use a pint glass) to cut out circles.
• Place circles into an ungreased cupcake pan.
• Pour filling into the crusts, about a quarter of the way full. Be careful not to over fill as the mixture will bubble up and make the tarts stick to the pan.
• Bake in oven at 425°F for about 12-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
