The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

cook's notes
There were times when I was so tired from baking these mini-tarts that I got out a regular sized muffin pan and made these, only bigger! LOL!! :)

My family makes nut cups all the time. This is by far the best recipe. Everyone raves about them. I make the dough one day. The filling the next day and construct and bake the third day.
