The butter tart is considered a classic Canadian dessert. These tasty tarts were common in pioneer Canadian cooking, making them a genuinely Canadian recipe.
The origins of the tart are unclear, but some suggest that they came with the arrival of the “filles du roi” (Kings Daughters) or the “filles à marier” (marriageable girls) in Quebec during the 1600s. These imported brides used maple syrup, butter and dried fruit to make what would possibly become the butter tart.
