The filling for our BUTTER TART SQUARES has everything we love most about the original recipe – the perfect level of sweetness and buttery flavour partnered with notes of vanilla and just the right amount of saltiness. Don’t start playing around with this approach, just make the recipe as written and you won’t be disappointed. The raisins and walnuts keep the filling firm since we’re cutting squares. Although we save time not having to roll out the dough and cut 12 tarts, we did need to adjust things to keep it together. The recipe was crafted to give you a new way to enjoy this beloved treat. Most discussions about BUTTER TARTS eventually go to two questions: do you like the filling soft or runny, and do you like nuts and/or raisins? Well, this recipe not only answers those questions but also explains our goal. One of the reasons this recipe works is that the base stays together and supports the gooey filling as you cut the larger square into smaller ones. The pastry base has that hallmark buttery flavour, and this mix of butter, flour and brown sugar bakes perfectly. You can thank me after you bite into your first square. Doing so will help both the pastry base and the filling come together easily. One thing to mention about the ingredients – remember to bring the butter and egg to room temperature before you begin. Although a few of the ingredients like the flour, butter and brown sugar appear twice in the recipe, fear not, it’s just to keep the process simple.
