A Canadian treat that everyone should try, these EASY Canadian Butter Tarts consist of a flaky crust filled with a buttery, caramel-like, gooey center! Using a food processor, pulse the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter in chunks, pulse 5 to 8 times, or until butter is in small pieces.
Butter tarts are a classic Canadian dessert. While this recipe from Anna Olson uses pecans, feel free to use other additions in place of the pecans such as raisins, walnut pieces or leave the butter tarts plain. Anna Olson’s butter tart squares are an easy and portable way to enjoy the distinct Canadian flavours without the fuss.
These keto butter tarts are perfect to satisfy your sweet tooth. In a mixing bowl, stir together your coconut flour, eggs, sugar substitute and melted butter.
