A butter tart is a type of pastry best known as a Canadian treat. It should not be confused with Butter pie a savoury pie from the Preston area of Lancashire, England or bread and butter pudding.
The English Canadian tart consists of butter, sugar and eggs in a pastry shell, similar to the base of the U. S. pecan pie without the nut topping, and extremely similar to the French-Canadian sugar pie. Additional ingredients can include raisins, pecans, walnuts, coconut, dates, butterscotch, chocolate chips or peanut butter. Butter tarts were a staple of pioneer Canadian cooking, and they remain a characteristic pastry of Canada, considered one of only a few recipes of genuinely Canadian origin (for example, by the 6th edition of the Collins English Dictionary). One of the earliest known Canadian recipes is from northern Ontario and dates back to 1915.
Yet similar tarts are made in Scotland, where they are often referred to as Ecclefechan butter tarts from the town of Ecclefechan; and in France, though they are uncommon. There, they are related to the much more common tarte à la frangipane, that differs from the basic Canadian recipe only by the addition of ground almonds. The origin thus appears to be unknown.
Butter tarts are said to have been a favourite treat of Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald.

I'm waiting for Pizza to be brought home any minute.
The wife and the two oldest girls wen to have their hair done and they've been gone for like 3 hours.
I'm so hungry I could pass out. But I must hold out for the pizza.
