These are a big hit every time I make them. They are an addition to a basket donated at a local fundraiser full of maple products. Sweet with a smooth flavor, they pair well with your favorite vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!

AWARD-WINNING BUTTER TARTS



Award-Winning Butter Tarts image

Butter tarts are a Canadian tradition. Waaaay back in the 1970s, a national contest here in Canada concluded that these butter tarts, originating from Wilkie's Bakery in Orillia, Ontario, were the best. I certainly think so and it's the only recipe I use. Add a sprinkle of toasted walnuts when you add the raisins, if you wish, or use only walnuts if you don't like raisins.

Categories     Pie

Time 1h5m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

pie pastry (enough to fill 16 muffin cups, your own or from a mix)
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup soft butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Prepare muffin pans by rolling out pie dough and cutting 4-inch (approx) circles; fit dough circles into muffin cups; set aside in fridge until ready to fill.
  • In a small bowl, place raisins and cover with hot tap water; let stand on the counter for 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, mix together the soft butter, brown sugar, salt and corn syrup; stir well until sugar is dissolved and butter is creamed.
  • Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
  • Drain raisins.
  • Retrieve tart shells and divide raisins equally into all shells; then divide butter mixture into all tarts.
  • Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes; filling will be lightly browned but still bubbling.
  • Canadians fall into two camps about butter tarts and are quite loyal to their favourite type: runny or firm.
  • I like runny-- the type that dribbles when you bite into one; if you like firm, bake them for the full 20 minutes, even adding another minute or two if you wish.
  • Let cooked butter tarts cool in pans for 10 minutes after removing from oven; then remove and place on racks until completely cool.

GRANDMA'S BUTTER TARTS



Grandma's Butter Tarts image

This was my Grandma's recipe and has been a family favorite for years. Every time she would make these we would practically inhale them. Now, I make them on all the holidays. My family absolutely raves about them. They get gobbled up so fast that I always have to make a couple batches! Note: I don't put raisins and nuts in the filling mixture at first. I add them to each individual tart after I've poured in the mixture. About 5-8 raisins and a sprinkle of nuts to each tart. Also, to get a really flakey crust, keep all ingredients and utensils cold. I put my bowl, rolling pin, pastry whisk, and the flour I will use in the freezer prior to making and I keep the butter and shortening in the fridge until ready to use

3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup (or maple syrup)
1/2 cup melted butter
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup raisins, approx (soak in warm water to plump then drain)

  • Add cold water one tablespoon at a time until the dough sticks together.
  • Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.

  • Place circles into an ungreased cupcake pan.
  • Pour filling into the crusts, about a quarter of the way full. Be careful not to over fill as the mixture will bubble up and make the tarts stick to the pan.

  • Good luck and enjoy!

PRIZE BUTTER TARTS



Prize Butter Tarts image

Butter Tarts, a wonderful Canadian dessert, sort of like pecan pie without nuts, if you can imagine such a thing. This (old) Canadian recipe should do the trick!

Provided by Frank Butcher

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 12 3 inch tarts

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup seedless raisins or 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine, melted
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pastry for double-crust pie

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Prepare pastry dough; cut in circles and line 3-inch tart pans with pastry circles.
  • Combine balance of ingredients.
  • Spoon mixture into unbaked pastry lined pans, filling each no more than 2/3 full (if the filling bubbles over it makes one heck of a mess!). Bake for 20 minutes or until filling has cooked and pastry is golden.
  • Notes: This can be made without the raisins or nuts, but they are very plain.
  • I generally make these with a combination of nuts and raisins.
  • Craisins can be substituted for the raisins.
  • For Jam Tarts: Line tart pan cups with pastry.
  • Fill cups 1/2 full with your choice of jam.
  • Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes or until pastry is golden.
