Maple Butter Tartlets (Canadian)

Miniature butter tarts with a rich, deeply flavored maple filling, a Canadian classic.

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup, cold, cubed Natrel Salted Lactose Free Butter
• 5-7 tbsp Iced water
• 0.75 cup Pancake Mix
• 0.5 cup Maple Syrup
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 Pinch of salt
• 1/2 tsp Butterscotch extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
3. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough and cut into circles to fit mini muffin tins.
6. In a separate bowl, combine pancake mix, maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, and butterscotch extract.
7. Fill each tart shell with the maple mixture, being careful not to overfill.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is set. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
9. Let cool completely in the muffin tin before serving.
