These are the product of early morning experimentation modifying an old butter tart recipe that I’ve been using for years. They are a combination of sweet and tart, look beautiful, and disappear very quickly! You can’t eat just one SO good.. Not a really strong flavour when you first bite into one but by the time you are finished you just want another!
