📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Butter tarts were born in Canada: small tart shells are filled with butter, brown sugar, and egg and baked. A slightly runny center is considered ideal, and whether to add raisins or walnuts is hotly debated among Canadians. Ontario even has a 'Butter Tart Trail.'

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a bakery in a small Ontario town, a family on a drive each picks out one of the butter tarts lined up in the display case.
