Recipe Success! Butter Tart Squares

Sometimes I bake for the sake of baking. My sweet tooth whispers ‘feed me’ and I give in.

A couple of weeks ago I was craving butter tarts.  Typically, pastry and I don’t get along as well as I’d like, so I figured a butter tart square would be the happy compromise.

A quick internet search later and I found this Joy of Baking recipe.

I swapped out the corn syrup and replaced it with maple syrup.  I also used Camino’s Muscavado brown sugar which is dark and has a strong molasses flavour.  The squares were a huge success!

For the full recipe check out the Butter Tart Squares on the Joy of Baking – and I do recommend the maple syrup swap!

Enjoy!
