Canadian Butter Tarts

These iconic Canadian butter tarts feature a crisp shortcrust pastry shell filled with a rich, gooey caramel-like centre studded with plump raisins and toasted walnuts—the kind of indulgent treat that's simultaneously smooth and textured, warm and comforting.

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 170°C fan / 190°C conventional / gas 5.
  2. 2
    Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until slightly thinner than straight from the pack. Cut out 18-20 rounds with a 7.5 cm fluted cutter, re-rolling trimmings as needed. Line two deep 12-hole tart tins with the pastry rounds.
  3. 3
    Beat the eggs in a large bowl and combine with the muscovado sugar, vanilla extract, butter, single cream, and raisins.
  4. 4
    Transfer the mixture to a pan and stir continuously for 3-4 minutes over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
  5. 5
    Remove from heat and stir in the walnuts.
  6. 6
    Spoon the filling into the unbaked tart shells until level with the pastry edges.
  7. 7
    Bake for 15-18 minutes until the filling is set and the pastry is pale golden.
  8. 8
    Cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
