Butter Tarts From Scratch

The butter tart is Canada's most iconic baked good, and making one from scratch is easier than every Canadian who has never tried it assumes.

This virtual Canadian baking class takes you through a classic butter tart from the ground up, flaky pastry shell and all. No store-bought shells. No shortcuts. The real thing, made in your own kitchen with two Red Seal chefs walking you through every step.

The pastry is where Jody and Kirstie will spend real time. Flaky pastry intimidates most home bakers because the margin for error feels narrow. You will learn why fat temperature matters, how to handle the dough so it stays tender, and how to line a tart shell properly so it holds its shape through the bake. Once you understand the technique, every pie and tart you make for the rest of your life gets easier.

The filling easier than you think!  A classic runny butter tart filling is deceptively simple and surprisingly easy to get wrong. The raisins are always optional!

This is a Canadian classic done properly, and it will become the thing you bring to every gathering from here on out.  We bet you can't eat just one!
