real butter is a beautiful thing

my favorite cakes are ole time pound cakes....pound of butter; pound of sugar; pound of flour.... you get the picture

yes, they are in no way good for you but dang they taste good

looks like you fell asleep during the sharing is caring lecture too

I gave out baskets today and the rave reviews were for the butter tarts. At 1am I was in no mood to taste anything last night, so I just got home and munched on one...lawd have mercy they are lovely

soon come with the recipe.

Re: Butter Tarts



This recipe is the result of 3 years worth of &quot;tweaking&quot; and now I am perfectly happy with the results! The recipe makes gooey butter tarts, so if you like yours runny, this isnt for you:

<span style="font-weight: bold">Butter Tarts</span>

Ingredients

2 eggs
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
1/2 cups corn syrup
5 Tbsp(or 1/3 cup) unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp white vinegar
pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream or half and half.

Optional
1 cup currants or raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (I dont bother with these)

Preheat oven 350 degrees F.

beat eggs well.
add sugar, syrup and melted butter
beat really well again.
add vinegar, salt, vanilla, heavy cream.
beat vigorously.

If desired:
add currants/raisins/walnuts

Now, you can use tart shells but I like to make a shortbread crust and pour the mixture over that instead:

Here's the shortbread recipe:

1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup icing sugar
pinch salt
splash of vanilla extract
2 cups flour

beat butter and icing sugar and salt together til light and fluffy.
add in flour
<span style="font-weight: bold">DO NOT over stir or dough will get tough.</span>

press into bottom of 9&quot; x 13&quot; pan
bake at 350F for approx 12 mins or so

<span style="font-weight: bold">NOW:</span>

pour butter tart mixture over shortbread crust
bake for 20 minutes
let cool and settle before cutting

better yet, after it cools for 15mins, place pan in fridge for an hour to cool and settle completely.

<span style="font-style: italic">Note: If you do like it a bit more runny, just shave 3 to 4 mins of the baking time.</span>

La Viola! Beautiful Butter Tarts

Re: Butter Tarts



It is very much a Canadian dessert, so nuff ppl outside of here havent heard of them.

I dont mind raisins in mind but I know alot of ppl dont like to add them. They are just as tasty without adding raisins/currants/walnuts.
