Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 (3 inch) unbaked tart shells
4 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened baking chocolate (such as Baker's®), divided
¾ cup lightly packed brown sugar
¼ cup corn syrup
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place tart shells on a baking sheet.
  • Chop 3 ounces of the chocolate into small pieces; sprinkle evenly into the bottom of each tart shell.

BUTTER TART SQUARES

The best butter tart squares! These have a buttery shortbread crust and a layer of gooey brown sugar filling. You can add in walnuts, raisins, currants or leave them plain. Easier, quicker and more delicious than the original. This recipe can make 15 large bars or 36 more reasonable sized bars.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour*
4 large eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup dark corn syrup*
2 tablespoons white vinegar*
1 cup raisins, currants or chopped walnuts - optional (I use 1/2 cup currants and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang around the edges.
  • In a large bowl beat the butter and powdered sugar until fluffy.
  • Mix in the flour - the mixture will be thick.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the top looks set and is a pale, golden color. Remove from the oven and leave the oven turned on.
  • Make the filling as the base layer is baking.
  • Beat the butter, brown sugar and flour until evenly combined.
  • Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
  • Mix in the corn syrup and vinegar. Stir in the optional raisins, currants or walnuts.
  • Pour the mixture over the gently baked crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top looks set and if you give the pan a nudge the filling layer doesn't look liquidy.
  • Remove from the oven and cool completely before slicing for clean cuts and to ensure that the bars are set.
  • When ready to slice, lift the bars out of the pan using the overhang of the parchment paper. Place on the cutting board and slice using a sharp knife. If the edges seem too crispy, simply slice off the edges.

BUTTER TART SQUARES



Butter Tart Squares image

The Junior League of Toronto called this recipe "a 'no fuss' treat for butter tart lovers." Canadian butter tarts are gooey, sugary delights enjoyed year-round. For these squares, rather than make individual pastry shells, you simply pour the butter tart filling over a shortbread base. Once baked, it can be cut into squares like a bar cookie.

Time 45m

Yield 25 squares

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cup/159 grams all-purpose flour
1/4 cup/55 grams packed brown sugar, light or dark
Pinch of fine sea salt
1/2 cup/113 grams cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/3 cup/76 grams unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup/72 grams raisins, roughly chopped (optional)
1 cup/220 grams packed brown sugar, light or dark
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Make the crust: In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and salt. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in butter until well combined and crumbly. It will be dry and sandy. Press flour mixture evenly into a 9-inch (23-centimeter) square pan and bake for 15 minutes.
  • As the crust bakes, make the filling: In a bowl, mix butter, cream, vanilla, raisins (if using), brown sugar, egg and flour until combined. Spread to edges over partly baked crust.
  • Return to oven and bake 14 to 20 minutes more or until golden brown (squares made with dark brown sugar will be a deeper shade of amber). A few minutes after removing it from the oven, run a knife or offset spatula around the edges to loosen any sugar that is stuck to the pan. Let pan cool to room temperature, then chill in a refrigerator. Once cold, use a sharp knife to slice into squares, approximately 1 3/4 inch (4.5 centimeters).
