The criteria - to date - how to find that perfect healing butter tart.
Girls ... you know who you are :) feel free to advise, comment and make additions.
- Overall appeal (how the butter tart looks)
- Pastry: hard, flaky, thin, thick
- Inner texture/filling : drippy, firm, crystallized sugar
- Sugar high/rush - warm fuzzies :)
- Will also make note of where the tart was made, and the cost for 1/2 dozen.
A butter tart is a type of small pastry tart highly regarded in Canadian cuisine and considered one of Canada's quintessential desserts. Although primarily eaten and associated with the English speaking provinces of Canada, the history of the tart recipe has been traced back to the arrival of the filles à marier in Quebec during the 1600s, where the imported brides used maple syrup, butter and dried fruit to make a possible precursor to modern examples of the butter tart or the Quebec Tarte au sucre. Butter tarts were common in pioneer Canadian cooking, and they remain a characteristic pastry of Canada, considered one of only a few recipes of genuinely Canadian origin.
