Regulars here know that I love our neighbor to the north. Canada is a fun, friendly place with amazing food. From poutine to Tim Horton's doughnuts, there's a little something for everything in Canadian food. Another quintessentially Canadian food: butter tarts. I found some baking in the home of a Canadian Amish family when I visited and was able to get her recipe. But then Amish365 reader, Penny, posted a recipe for Butter Tart Muffins. This is an amazing muffin twist on this Canadian favorite that definitely seems worth a try!
