Canadian Butter Tarts

Makes 20 Prep Time 30 minutes   Cook Time 28 minutes   Rated:

I am partial to a little something salty and sweet and although this recipe appears to not have a lot going on as far as fillings are concerned, you will be absolutely in love with them. The pastry is divine, crumbly, short and perfect for the silky sweet and salty custardy filling, which is very caramelly as well. Difficult to describe, trust me and make a batch. Instant addiction. They reminded me of a pecan pie, without the pecans. But more salted caramel. If that works for you?
