 🍁 Traditional Canadian Butter Tarts Recipe – Easy & Delicious




Discover the best Canadian Butter Tarts recipe! Sweet, gooey, and perfect for any occasion. Step-by-step instructions with simple ingredients.





🥧 What Are Butter Tarts?


Butter tarts are a classic Canadian dessert known for their flaky pastry shells filled with a rich, buttery, caramel-like filling. Originating in Ontario in the early 1900s, they’ve become a symbol of Canadian baking — often enjoyed at holidays, bake sales, and family gatherings.





🛒 Ingredients for Butter Tarts


To make about 12 butter tarts, you’ll need:


12 tart shells (store-bought or homemade)


1/2 cup brown sugar


1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)


1 egg (beaten)


1/2 tsp vanilla extract


1 tbsp milk


Pinch of salt


1/3 cup raisins or chopped pecans (optional)






🍽️ How to Make Butter Tarts – Step-by-Step Instructions


Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).


Step 2: Prepare the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and beaten egg. Mix until smooth. Add vanilla, milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir to blend well.


Step 3: Fill the Tart Shells

Place your tart shells on a baking tray. Add raisins or chopped pecans to each shell if using. Spoon the filling into each tart shell, filling them about two-thirds full.


Step 4: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the pastry is golden brown.


Step 5: Cool and Serve

Let the butter tarts cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.







🧁 Tips for Perfect Butter Tarts


For a runny filling, reduce baking time slightly.


For a firm filling, bake a few minutes longer.


Use homemade pastry for an extra flaky crust.


Customize: Try coconut, chocolate chips, or no filling additions at all!






📦 Storage


Butter tarts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. They also freeze well for up to 2 months.
