Prepare the tart shells by mixing flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add cold water and vinegar, mixing until the dough forms a ball.

Roll out the dough and cut into circles, then press into a muffin tin to form tart shells.

For the filling, whisk together corn syrup, maple syrup, brown sugar, soft butter, eggs, and salt until smooth.

Stir in any mix-ins like raisins or nuts if desired.

Pour the filling into each tart shell until just full.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until the filling is set and the edges are golden.

Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
