The most classic of our sweets is the sweet tart (small pies with filling). These can be filled with any filling of choice although the fig, coconut, bouille and blackberry are some of the all-time favorites.What makes it great is that these delightful pies can be frozen if they last that long. |

| Ingredients |
| 2 1/4 cup sugar |
5 eggs |
| 1 1/2 stick margarine at room temperature |
5 cups flour |
| 2 1/2 tbsp baking powder |
1/2 cup milk |
| 1 tbsp vanilla or to taste and cinnamon and nutmeg to taste |
| |
| | | Directions | Beat the sugar, eggs and margarine until real fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla mixing well.
Mix the flour and baking powder and add to the mix, mixing all ingredients real well. Chill the dough from 4 to 24 hours so as to make it easy to roll out and shape.
When you are ready to prepare the tarts; equally cut the dough into 24 pieces. Pat the dough into a round shape in a mixture of sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Fill with smashed canned figs (see recipe on site), or filling of choice; put a small amount of water with your fingertips if needed on the outer round of the tart to help stick together, fold over and place on cookie sheet to bake.
Bake at 350 degrees until light brown (about 18 minutes). Do not overcook as tart will turn hard. Store in airtight bags or container. Can be frozen after baking.
