This recipe makes delicious butter tarts, they're one of Canada's favourite desserts! (along with Nanaimo bars)

My mom gave me this recipe, and I think she's happy that I can share it with everyone, since my sister is a vegan and can't eat butter (so she won't make them).

I hope their delicious taste will encourage everyone to keep enjoying butter 😄

Steps

1

In a large bowl, sift together the flower and salt, and cut in the shortening with two knifes until you have pieces the size of peas
2

In a small bowl, mix the wet ingredients together (egg, cold water, and vinegar)
3

With the dry ingredients, make a 'well' in the center, and add the wet mixture. Fluff this with a fork until just mixed (Do not overmix!)
4

In the bowl, press the combined mixture flat, and fold in half (repeat 3 or 4 times)
5

Roll out your dough on a floured surface, until it's about 1/4-inch thick, or a little less. Now cut into circles a few inches across (you can use a cookie cutter, or a glass), and press them lightly to a cupcake tray.
6

Now we can start on the Filling!
7

Beat the butter, brown sugar, and syrup. Once combined, add the egg, vanilla, vinegar, salt and crushed pecans. Pour into the pastry shells
8

Cook for 8 minutes at 230 C (450 F), and then reduce the heat to 175 C (350F F) for another 15-18 minutes until the filling is set.
