Butter tarts are considered a genuine Canadian pastry dating back to the 1600’s. We’ve added maple syrup to our recipe to make it a truly national treasure.

Makes 12 Tarts

Ingredients:

12 pre-made tart shells, room temperature

1 cup (150g) raisins (optional)

1 cup (150g) walnuts or pecans,(optional), coarsely chopped

1 cup (240ml) real Canadian Maple Syrup

2/3 cup (135g) brown sugar, packed

2 eggs

1/3 cup (75gm) unsalted butter, melted

1 pinch salt

Method:

Fit the pastry shells into the muffin tin.
Divide the raisins and nuts equally among the bottom of the tart shells.
In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, maple syrup, brown sugar, butter and salt.
Pour into tart shells, about 2/3 full. Place muffin tin on a baking sheet.
Bake in a pre-heated 375F (190C) for 20-25 minutes until the filling is set.
Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.
