Butter Tarts

Who doesn't enjoy tarts? These delicious delights are much better when they are perfectly baked and have a crispy top. These tart-shaped Canadian treats are constructed with a flaky pastry crust and a creamy middle of sugar, egg, butter, and syrup.

The history of Ontario's butter tarts may be traced back to the late 1800s when the first recipe was published in a women's cookbook. Locals liken it to sugar or pecan pie, but without the nutty flavors. Classic butter tarts can be found in food facilities such as restaurants, supermarkets, and wholesalers whether you live in a small town or a huge city.

Butter tarts are deceptively simple, but oh so delicious. They're produced by filling flaky pastry shells with butter, sugar, and egg filling. This is classic Canadian cuisine at its finest, and you'll be yearning for it long after you've left the country.
