BUTTER TART SQUARES



Butter Tart Squares image

The Junior League of Toronto called this recipe "a 'no fuss' treat for butter tart lovers." Canadian butter tarts are gooey, sugary delights enjoyed year-round. For these squares, rather than make individual pastry shells, you simply pour the butter tart filling over a shortbread base. Once baked, it can be cut into squares like a bar cookie.

Time 45m

Yield 25 squares

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cup/159 grams all-purpose flour
1/4 cup/55 grams packed brown sugar, light or dark
Pinch of fine sea salt
1/2 cup/113 grams cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/3 cup/76 grams unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup/72 grams raisins, roughly chopped (optional)
1 cup/220 grams packed brown sugar, light or dark
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Make the crust: In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and salt. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in butter until well combined and crumbly. It will be dry and sandy. Press flour mixture evenly into a 9-inch (23-centimeter) square pan and bake for 15 minutes.
  • As the crust bakes, make the filling: In a bowl, mix butter, cream, vanilla, raisins (if using), brown sugar, egg and flour until combined. Spread to edges over partly baked crust.
  • Return to oven and bake 14 to 20 minutes more or until golden brown (squares made with dark brown sugar will be a deeper shade of amber). A few minutes after removing it from the oven, run a knife or offset spatula around the edges to loosen any sugar that is stuck to the pan. Let pan cool to room temperature, then chill in a refrigerator. Once cold, use a sharp knife to slice into squares, approximately 1 3/4 inch (4.5 centimeters).

Tips:

  • Use real butter for the best flavor. Unsalted butter is best so you can control the amount of salt in the recipe.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and will help to prevent the butter from melting.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough. A dull knife will tear the dough and make it difficult to get clean edges.
  • Bake the squares until the edges are golden brown and the filling is set. Overbaking will make the squares dry.
  • Let the squares cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up.

Conclusion:

Betty's Butter Tart Squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their flaky crust and gooey filling, these squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give Betty's Butter Tart Squares a try.
