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:

  • For the perfect pastry, use a food processor to combine the dry ingredients and butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Then, add the egg yolk and water and pulse until the dough just comes together.
  • Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking. This will also help you to achieve an even thickness.
  • When baking the pastry, prick the bottom with a fork to prevent it from puffing up. This will also help the filling to set more evenly.
  • To make the raisin butter filling, simply combine the raisins, butter, sugar, and spices in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Then, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the filling onto the prepared pastry and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
  • Let the butter tarts cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.

Conclusion:

Raisin butter tarts are a delicious and classic Canadian dessert. They are perfect for any occasion, from potlucks to holiday gatherings. With a flaky pastry and a sweet and gooey filling, these butter tarts are sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these raisin butter tart squares a try.
