Mrs Welch's Butter Tarts image

A good friend, Mrs Welch, gave me this recipe in the mid 1970's. It's fail-proof, it's delicious, and it's quick-and-easy using ingredients I usually have on-hand.

These butter tarts are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of butter tarts, but I have to admit that these are pretty good. The filling is creamy and smooth, and the pastry is flaky and buttery.
