I grew up in Vancouver and our family made butter tarts as long as I can remember. At least into the 70s.
Toasted pecans for the filling 😍

In my years on Vancouver Island, I never knew a single person who didn’t make butter tarts at Christmas. It’s extremely common in BC.

Melt the butter. Blend in the rest of ingredients. Fill tart shells half full. Bake 20 min at 350 F. Makes about 15.
Enjoy...

I'm from Alberta and we definitely had butter tarts...with currants. They were standard holiday fare. No nuts.

I'm so excited for this buttertart series! I've grown up in southern Ontario and I'm always trying to figure out and find new recipes for buttertarts! I only eat my buttertarts plain because I find that anything else in the buttertart other than the sugar mixture and the flake ruins the sanctity of the tart. Keep it plain; keep it simple.

Butter Tarts are they do exist west of Ontario

Just subscribed, love the channel. As an American, I have never heard of a butter tart, however, they seem very similar to a little know American pie, the chess pie. Basically sugar, eggs, and butter in a pie or tart crust. The people who eat chess pie often argue whether you should use brown sugar vs white sugar vs dark corn syrup and also whether you should add anything to the custard or not i.e. nuts and fruit vs the purist who wants only the custard. Keep up the good work.

Who woulda thought. Something so popular that it warrants tours, is something I never heard of... count me in, lol. I'll be back to be over-sweetened by y'all.

Having grown up in just outside of Saskatoon, I am very well acquainted with butter tarts. I had the opportunity to sample many different kinds because of the many church functions we were part of. I have to say that the Mennonite (not Hutterite or Amish or communal) community has stellar cooks and brought with them from the old countries said recipe(s). Mom's had a lard pie shell. The filling had lots of butter and brown sugar. There were no interlopers (raisins, walnuts - who would do such a thing?) in it either. And, she told me a few years ago, when I was attempting to reproduce her recipe that real vanilla had to be used and not to be stingy with it. My favourite, since other church ladies made some that were acceptable, had a thin pastry, and almost runny, and, of course, with no raisins, currants, nuts, etc. I'm really looking forward to the tart series!

I've been watching your stuff for years and really wish you continued this series. I've watched all the butter tart videos so many times, and so badly want to know more of the many variations that you know of.

I can't pass up a butter tart, and I've probably tried a bunch of the different recipes unknowingly over the years.

This is something my Canadian step grandmother made. She lived in Norwich, Ontario, and died in 1977 (born in 1886). She put raisins in hers. My half-sister's favorite!
