Buttertarts were common in pioneer Canadian cooking,and they remain a characteristic pastry of Canada, considered one of only a few recipes of genuinely Canadian origin.One of the earliest known Canadian recipes is from northern Ontario and dates back to 1915
Similar tarts are made in Scotland,where they are often referred to as Ecclefechan butter tarts from the town of Ecclefechan..

A butter tart is a homey, simple thing. It should be a little clunky and not too sophisticated. It should offer thick, flaky and buttery pastry, ideally with a consistency close to shortbread. Its interior should be rich, syrupy and in keeping with the name of the tart, buttery! When you bite into the tart, the filling should immediately start to ooze!
