MOM'S BUTTER TARTS, EH?
A butter tart is a type of small pastry tart highly regarded in Canadian cuisine. My mother, Dorothy, made this recipe her entire life, it was passed to her by her mother, so we have approximately 160 years of this luscious, gooey dessert in my bloodline. It's relatively simple but as simple as it is it's one of the best desserts...
