Perhaps someone on this board could explain to me what a Canadian butter tart is as opposed to any other butter tart. from the Toronto Sun " Still, if there's one food that establishes our national identity - I'd have to say it's the butter tart! It's certainly part of our heritage and as Canadian as you can get. With just a handful of ingredients you get what many call one of this country's most quintessential desserts. It's ooey and gooey and sweet and sexy. And beyond delicious. Runny or firm, plain or with raisins or currents, butter or - dare I say it? - lard-based crust, when you think of a defining Canadian staple, its gotta be this darling. " OR Food Network " Known around the world as a uniquely Canadian dessert, butter tarts are one of the tastiest things to come out of the True North. Nothing beats the flaky pastry filled with a perfectly sticky-sweet centre. Whether you prefer them plain, studded with raisins or turned into a cheesecake" My dad likes his with currants, frozen (otherwise he will eat them all in one sitting), microwave for 30secs then he calls them 'steamers', micro them toooo long and there is a whole lotta swearing goin - damn that's hot.

Prudent Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Ned, happy that your friend's wife is taking care of you. This discussion is about a young man who is trying to fill a gap. Derek, Canadian butter tarts are a treat and I will watch for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Products like poutine need to be totally fresh.. There is a restaurant that makes pierogi but unfortunately only one kind,potato which is the least desirable and cheapest to make but not cheap from that restaurant in Ajijic. The Ukrainians of northeast central Alberta are experts. They aren't expensive at Edmonton Safeway either and go well with garlic kielbasa and sauerkraut if you put sour cream,chopped green onion, and bacon chips over the pierogi. the Ukrainian pronunciation is pierre-o-hee. They also take considerable expertise to churn out (voice of LOTS of experience here) and they're a little tricky (???why) with Mexican flour. Probably not for a young man setting out to mass-produce stuff he can consistently and reliably produce and sell.... albeit a nice idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Derek, welcome to the land of trolls. Good luck with the butter tarts.

Oatsie Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 What is a butter tart? At its most basic, a butter tart is simply butter, sugar, syrup, and eggs. The magic happens when these simple ingredients are combined and baked in a pastry shell until golden brown and the filling is semi-solid – or really runny depending on your tastes and baking style. This simple combination is what was featured in the first known printed recipe from the early 1900s. Found in the Royal Victoria Cookbook by The Women’s Auxiliary to the Royal Victoria Hospital located in Barrie, ON, this simple tart has become a staple of the Canadian cuisine landscape.

Derek, no one has asked you, but you can always count on me to ask this question: do you have a work permit? I wouldn't want you and your butter tarts to run afoul of the law.

His father has been here for many years,does real estate rents cars so Derek may have even been born here so that's perhaps why nobody has asked.

AngusMactavish Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Being totally ignorant about what a Canadian butter tart is, the recipe sounds like a pecan pie without the pecans. Since that is to me the best part, I look forward to tasting the tarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She let me take home 2 of hers this week as well as some choc chip peanut butter cookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Yes, every expensive the last few years, but not as bad as pecans. Walmart, Soriana, SuperLake, the Grainery (name?), and a nut and seed shop on the main drag in Chapala. And of course large bags at CostCo.

kgreenbury Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Another suggestion, if you've got a good, reliable pastry recipe for the tarts, you might sell ready-made shells, as some of us just aren't talented that way. My last effort was all over me, the floor, the ceiling and the cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
