These sound great! I haven’t tried these, so this suggestion is based on my experience with other pastry type things, but give (whole grain) spelt a try some time when you’re making these. I find it has similar benefits to using a soft white wheat, with a little added flavor (but not the red wheat flavor).
Butter tarts are the best. We like ours with a dollop of freshly whipped cream, or not. You are correct - good any time of day, the problem being eating them all! I love that your recipe is a pretty no nonsense version. It’s a no nonsense dessert here. Will try with freshly milled grain in the crust, I bet that is delicious.
When I was a young girl visiting my grandma in Canada she would almost always have butter tarts to serve me with tea. Hers had raisins or currants. I was looking for a recipe to try them this year-thank you!
