    I opened this thinking it might be a relative of mine who has been on a self appointed mission to find the best butter tart including road trips to bakeries across Ontario.

    That image of a butter tart has pecans, not raisins. Pecans don’t grow here, so it’s not a Canadian butter tart. In the article it even points out that one of the competitor’s tarts contained pecans.

    I grew up with the understanding that a proper Canadian butter tart has raisins, not pecans or walnuts, but now I want to try one with dried currants as written in the original recipe.

    The article quotes Meissner recommending Doo Doo’s for her „haskap berry butter tart, which he said is ‚divine.'“. Doo Doo has deservedly won best traditional and non-traditional butter tart several times at the Royal Winter Fair. I’m not trying to throw down a gauntlet, but I reckon they are probably the best butter tarts out there.

    Will we need butter tart purity laws? Like France has for traditional baguettes or the Bavarian Reinheitsgebot?

    Currents are clearly fine, they’re in the original recipe. How about raisins, pecans, or walnuts?

  5. Midland Ontario has a butter tart festival every year. By 9-9:30am all the winners from previous years are sold out or the line is so long you might not get butter tarts by the time it’s your turn. There is a ton of variety from maple to smores. I think I even scene an Oreo butter tart. There is always a lot of venders just selling the og butter tart. I think it’s the who is who for butter tarts. Worth checking out at least once if you are a big fan of butter tarts.

    The recipe is so simple that it’s difficult.

    If the pastry or consistency of the filling aren’t perfect, it’s not worth eating.

    And yes, raisins or currents, and pecans or walnuts are all welcome additions. But surely, the list stops there?
