Celebrate Butter Tart Day

I missed recognizing Canada Day (July 1) but did not want Butter Tart Day (July 10) to pass without a mention. Butter tarts are a Canadian delicacy of uncertain derivation. There are also a multitude of different opinions about the proper ingredients - raisins or currents or neither; maple syrup or brown sugar; nuts or plain. I am a purist and prefer them without nuts or raisins.

Here is a link to the discussion, "What makes a great butter tart?" and a recipe from the JoyofBaking.com.
