Due to user error bad reviews (wrongly) happen to great recipes. This turned out perfectly. I DID adjust the baking time as I was using a traditional lard pastry crust and I wanted to be sure it cooked through. I baked at 425 for 15 mins and then down to 400 for another 5 mins. The pastry was golden brown and the filling nicely set - consistency of jelly not runny. Thank you so much for posting this traditional French Canadian dessert! Grandma Watts would be proud!
Delish!! I followed the recipe exactly except I didn't have walnuts but they would be so good in this recipe so I will use them next time! A truly Canadian classic and one of the best butter tarts I have had! Make sure to use PURE Maple syrup!! The pure maple syrup is thick and not too sweet!
Baked for 20 minutes at 350 degrees
These are spectacular! dies inside
These were fantastic. The only thing I did differently was add about 2 tsp of vinegar; I remember my mother in law doing that possibly cuts the sweetness a bit. I also used currants instead of raisins. I love a runny consistency...a perfect butter tart should require serious licking of the fingers and wiping of the chin during consumption! These actually set a bit more than that but the flavour was divine. Will make again for a Canadian treat to share with my Aussie friends.
Made this recipe exactly to the recipe. Freaking fantastic!! And so quick and simple!
Doubled recipe followed exactly....turned out wonderful! Very yummy would use this recipe every time. Thanks for sharing it!!
Made this back in June and wow.......gone in seconds
TRIED THIS RECIPE AND FOUND IT MUCH TOO SWEET ALSO DID NOT SET AND IS VERY RUNNY WILL STICK TO MY BASIC RECIPE I ONLY WANTED TO MAKE SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND BOY WAS IT DIFFERENT
I used my own pie dough and aluminum tart pans. The filling made enough for 7. I omitted the raisins and added pecans on top of a few. I found it too sweet and despite using dark maple syrup I found the brown sugar was too predominant. If I were to make it again I would try a 1/4 cup of brown sugar instead of 1/2 cup.
