Butter Tarts (With Currants) image

This recipe was a Christmas treat I remember from my childhood. I think it originates in Canada, but I'm not sure. My mother always made one batch of butter tarts and one batch of tarts with raspberry jam. The jam tarts were fair game, but she always hid most of the butter tarts for herself.

These butter tarts are my favorite! I love the gooey filling and the flaky crust. I always make a double batch because they disappear so quickly.

I'm allergic to currants, so I omitted them from the recipe. The butter tarts were still delicious!

I'm not a big fan of currants, so I substituted raisins instead. The butter tarts were still delicious!

These butter tarts were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved them. I think next time I'll use less sugar.
