Maple Syrup Butter Tarts
The Beauty of Maple Syrup Tarts
Whether arranged artistically on a special tray for brunch or grabbed as a late-night treat with a glass of cold milk, Maple Syrup Butter Tarts are irresistibly yummy. Perfect as an easy-to-pick-up dessert in a buffet line or an accoutrement to a hot beverage at tea time, these tarts add a touch of nature to everything you serve.
Plus, they are sweetly easy to make — and remember, the fresher the syrup, eggs and butter, the better. Enjoy!
This is a wonderful recipe for kids to make. While the picture shows using a hand mixer, this simple recipe can be made just as effectively using a flexible spatula, whisk and spoon.
