    Canadian Food Fun: Butter Tarts and Butter Tart Muffins

    Published: Apr 13, 2020 · Updated: Feb 23, 2021 by Kevin Williams | 3 Comments

    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!

      Can you edit the recipe? I'd like to try it but it's very confusing.
