REAL CANADIAN BUTTER TARTS RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Real Canadian Butter Tarts Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-2484

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons vinegar
4 eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup currants

Steps:

  • Line tart tins with pastry. Sprinkle 6 to 8 currants into each tart shell. Let butter cool to room temp, then add the remaining ingredients. Stir until smooth. Spoon into unbaked tart shells, filling about 2/3 full. Bake at 200°F for 15 minutes, then without taking the tarts out, turn the oven to 350°F. Bake another 10 to 15 min, until they start to brown. This method will prevent them from boiling over. Note: I use Tender flake lard and make the pastry using the instructions on the box, chilling the dough before rolling. Roll it a little thicker than for pie pastry, and use a little extra flour.

Tips:

- Use real butter for the best flavor. - Don't overmix the dough to avoid tough tarts. - If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle to roll out the dough. - Be careful not to overfill the tart shells, as the filling will bubble up during baking. - Sprinkle the tops of the tarts with a little bit of cinnamon sugar before baking for a delicious crust. - Allow the tarts to cool completely before serving for the best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

These classic Canadian butter tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their creamy, buttery filling and flaky crust, these tarts are sure to be a hit at any gathering. You can use a variety of fillings to customize the tarts to your liking, such as raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips. Be sure to experiment with different flavors to find your favorite combination.
