Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your maple butter tarts will be. Look for pure maple syrup, real butter, and fresh eggs.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the tarts until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown: The filling should be slightly firm to the touch and the crust should be golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Let the tarts cool completely before serving: The tarts will be easier to handle and will hold their shape better if you let them cool completely before serving.

Conclusion:

Maple butter tarts are a delicious and classic Canadian treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from potlucks to holiday gatherings. With a flaky crust, a creamy maple filling, and a sprinkling of raisins, these tarts are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give maple butter tarts a try.
