Batch #2 of pastry led to my first attempt at the all Canadian butter tart. Well, sort of a modded butter tart, as there were no raisins because we have a kid who hates them. I used the recipe I found at JoyofBaking.com and while the filling went together easily, I was not at all happy with the end result.
As you can see, the filling bubbled up nicely and had a nice crust on top. The problem is that most of the filling did not set properly. The top half is gelled, but the bottom half of the filling is still quite runny. I know some people like their tarts this way, but not me.
On a positive note, pastry batch #2 was much better. This time it was flaky and tasty.
I have another ball of dough in the freezer and will try a new butter tart recipe at some point over the next week or so.
