Butter Tarts are a Canadian Classic introduced to me by my mother-in-law. As my own mother always says ANYTHING with butter and brown sugar as the main ingredients will be delicious--I can't say that I disagree.
Butter Tarts
1/2 cup butter plus 2 tbs. (softened)
2 3/4 cup brown sugar
4 large eggs
Rind and juice of one lemon or orange (optional)
1 tsp. salt
3/4 c. currants (optional)
Mix all ingredients together. Fill homemade or purchased tart shells. Bake at 350 until done.
Purchased tart shells are much harder to come by in the U.S. whereas in CAN they are a dime a dozen. Also, sorry for the vague instructions, that's generally how accomplished cooks relay instructions.
