Walk into just about any bakery grocery store or farm shop in Canada and you’ll likely see butter tarts on display. With a butter-only crust and a gooey brown sugar butter and egg filling the tarts have rich butterscotch notes that might remind you of a nut-free pecan pie. While the butter tart isn’t the most visually appealing or dressed-up dessert it’s incredibly delicious and beloved by many Canadians—so much so that it was featured on a Canada Post stamp in 2019. “Forget the beaver forget the glorious maple leaf forget the majestic and haunting loon” reads a poster from a 2005 Library and Archives Canadian exhibit. “For all these years the country has completely overlooked the single most important contribution to our identity as a nation the butter tart.”
