I want to share this little recipe with you. It is so easy to make, and really doesn't need much effort... these little squares are rich and delicious.
BUTTER TART SQUARES
1-1/4 cups flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
FILLING:
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 cup chopped pecans, or raisins
1 Tbsp flour
2 Tbsp cream
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg, beaten
Preheat oven to 350. Mix crust ingredients: flour, brown sugar, and butter. Press into an 8x8 pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
Mix filling ingredients together. Spread over the cooked crust. Place pan back in the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until bubbly and brown. Cool, slice into squares and serve.
I cut the squares in tiny pieces, so if you go back for seconds there are no guilty feelings {smiles}. If you need a little "pick-me-up" along about 3 in the afternoon... these little squares will do the trick, along with a nice hot cup of tea, of course!

ReplyDeleteSweet friend, these look divine! My precious grandma Betty used to make butter tarts and oh were they ever good! I am smacking my lips right now as I think about them. Your recipe is definitely one I must try....and soon I might add :)
It would truly be a joy to pop in for a visit with you. Not because of the sweet treats, but because of the sweet fellowship with you.
Much love to you, my friend!
Oh how I would love for you to stop by for a visit! We would enjoy lots of sweet - fellowship, friendship, and food, lol! :) Butter tarts were one of the staple desserts that we often made growing up, and it is just a comfort food for me to make them, and they do bring back such good memories! I hope you like them if you get a chance to make them :)
DeleteHugs to you today dear friend! I just mailed off my package to my special friend and am eagerly anticipating the mail now each day for mine to arrive. Such a delightful thing you have begun, and I do appreciate all the work you have put into it! Blessings sent your way!
Yummy ... I am pinning this recipe. Thank you!!

DeleteThese sound delish!..I grew up in Canada & my Mom always made butter tarts...they were our favorite. I always wished I had the recipe...but hers were all in her memory!! I look forward to trying these! Have a blessed day. ♡
ReplyDeleteThese are truly delicious tarts... but I know there are a lot of different recipes out there for Butter Tarts. I do think they are a "Canadian" treat, as we made them growing up in PEI too. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment :)
DeleteJust popped these into the oven...oh, I can't wait to try them this evening! Thanks again for the recipe, sweet friend :)
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed afternoon. Much love to you!
