Butter tarts have always been a sweet tradition in our family, though their exact origins are a bit of a mystery. One thing is for sure—Mom earned the bragging rights. She made them most often, perfecting every flaky crust and gooey filling. These tarts became a staple at our annual cousins' party, lovingly dubbed Shop Til You Drop.
One year, we decided to pass on the torch, teaching some of the cousins how to make them during the party. It was filled with laughter, flour, and sticky fingers, all captured in a step-by-step video. If you want to recreate Mom’s butter tart magic, be sure to check out the attached video for all her tips and tricks!
