Meet the Canadian butter tart - a delectable dessert you can easily bake using only kitchen pantry staples. This famous pastry even has an annual festival of its own in Ontario called the Butter Tart Festival, complete with two separate self-guided trails dotted with cafes and bakeries where you can find butter tarts.
Butter tarts are made of leftover pie dough. You can use store-bought or make it your way - it's your choice.
As you would expect from Canada, one of the most controversial and heated debates in the country concerns the extra ingredient in the recipe. Some claim it should be baked with raisins, and others profusely reject this idea in favor of nuts.
In my opinion, the best part about butter tarts is how forgiving they are. They're meant to look rustic, so when the crust comes out not-so-perfect, it only adds to the effect! The challenging thing about them is figuring out how long you would like them to bake. Some like them runnier, whereas others prefer them to set.
