Butter Tarts (With Currants) image

This recipe was a Christmas treat I remember from my childhood. I think it originates in Canada, but I'm not sure. My mother always made one batch of butter tarts and one batch of tarts with raspberry jam. The jam tarts were fair game, but she always hid most of the butter tarts for herself.

The butter tarts were good, but I found the filling to be a bit too runny. I think I would cook them for a few minutes longer next time.

These butter tarts were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
