CANADIAN BUTTER TARTS
What are butter tarts?
Butter tarts are small dessert tarts that are made up of buttery, flaky pastry shells filled with a rich, gooey, syrupy, brown sugar filling and raisins or pecans
HOW TO STORE BUTTER TARTS
The butter tarts will last in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 days, or in the freezer for 3 months. To enjoy again, you can either serve them cold or let them come to room temperature on the counter.
If they’re frozen, be sure to thaw them in the fridge first.
DIRECTIONS ON CANADIAN BUTTER TARTS
Mix the dough:
Whisk flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl, then cut in the cold butter cubes with a pastry cutter or your hands.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of cold water and mix the dough with your hands until it comes together in a ball.
Shape the dough ball into a fat disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 1 week.
Cut the dough:
Roll the pastry dough out onto a large piece of wax paper. Cut the dough into 3-3.5″ rounds using a circle cookie cutter, a large cup, or a small bowl.
Place the pastry dough rounds into a muffin pan and gently press them into the bottom and up the sides. Place the muffin pan into the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
Mix filling ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, eggs, vinegar, and vanilla.
Scoop the filling into the chilled, unbaked tart shells, dividing evenly between the 12 cups. Add raisins if using
