Happy Canada Day: 5 Canada Amish Recipes

By Kevin Williams

Our beautiful neighbor to the north, Canada, has several large Amish settlements.  The largest is near Kitchener, Ontario,but there are other sizable ones at Milverton, Aylmer, and Lindsay, Ontario. There are Amish communities now on the Canadian Plains and the Maritimes.  So, in Canada,  like the United States, the Amish are spreading their wings.  Canadian Amish cooking is quite similar to that in the united states, but they have picked up on local favorites like poutine (fries smothered in gravy) and Tim Horton's doughnuts.  So, in celebration of everything Canadian, here are 5 Canadian recipes from the Amish365 archives:

Homemade butter tart muffins
