BUTTER TARTS FROM HER CHILDHOOD

Food brings on such strong memories. C.J. Katz in Regina, not only keeps that family recipe alive and on down to her own children, but promotes great food through her weekly newsletter at: www.savourlife.ca and as C.J. herself said: “Who can resist this old-fashioned sweet. Not me. This recipe brought many smiles to my face as a child.” We hope you never grow up C.J.!

1 recipe double-crust pie dough     
1/3 cup butter
