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:

  • To ensure a smooth and creamy filling, whisk the sugar, flour, and salt together before adding the eggs. This will help prevent lumps from forming.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the filling to avoid overworking the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • If the filling is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • Be patient when baking the butter tart squares. They need to be baked until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the butter tart squares cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help prevent the filling from oozing out.

Conclusion:

Butter tart squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover puff pastry, and they can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them plain or loaded with chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit, butter tart squares are sure to please everyone.
