Nothing says “I Love You” like a delicious butter tart. Sugar, oh sugar, a true Canadian treat. The Butter Tart consists of a filling of butter, sugar, syrup, and egg, baked in a pastry shell until the filling is semi-solid with a crunchy top. The first butter tart recipe was published in 1900 with The Women’s Auxiliary of the Royal Victoria Hospital Cookbook. However, the origin is believed to be much older, most likely the result of the filles du roi (King’s Daughters), in which approximately 800 young women were sent to Québec from France between 1663 and 1673 to help colonize. These young ladies brought with them their traditional European recipes but were forced to adapt them according to what was available.

Attention all sweet tooths! Over 70,000 butter tarts are ready for tasting. What do you look for in a butter tart?  Traditional, fancy, or fruit based?  Firm or dripping with filling? (I mean, can you go wrong?!) There are a number of ways to make a butter tart but only only way to eat them. Quickly!

Judges Jean and Rachel, hosts of Canada’s Food Network ‘The Baker Sisters’ will be on hand to judge the butter tart event based on a number of criteria from appearance, type of filing, the texture, oozey-ness and more. You too can vote on your favourite butter tart.

And, while enjoying your butter tart take a tour of the many local artists on hand showcasing their wares.  It promises to be a day of fun for the whole family. This truly Canadian butter tart event is popping up in major cities, be a part of Pickering’s first.

Come visit us at our booth for your chance to win over $2,500 of prizes including a season pass to Canada’s Wonderland, family passes to Cineplex Odeon, and a room makeover from Pride in Staging.
