Gluten-Free Buttertarts <\/p>\n

Gluten-Free Butter Tarts! Because everyone should be able to try this uniquely Canadian favourite, gluten allergy or not!<\/p><\/div>\n

Note: This recipe was first posted on my original blog, Celebration Generation, on February 9, 2012. It was transferred over to this blog - existing comments and all - on 3\/16\/2021<\/i><\/p>\n

Remember last week, when I got my kitchen back and went a little nuts over it - making a Gluten Free Tourtiere<\/a>, amo ng other things? <\/p>\n

Well, the time has come to blog another of those \"other things\".<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

One of the things I'd been looking forward to making was a theoretical gluten-free butter tart. <\/p>\n

Gluten-Free Buttertarts<\/h2>\n

In fact, I facebooked a plea to \"the god\/godess in charge of kitchen renovations\" that I would make a tasty gluten free butter tart HAPPEN, if the remaining kitchen repairs-to-useable went quickly and easily.<\/p>\n

I keep my promises \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

As is, this recipe is quick and easy to make. <\/p>\n

Of course, Murphy's Law kicked in while I was getting prepared, and things got a little ... depraved.<\/p>\n

While we\u2019ve since photographed the recipe *properly* for this blog, our first attempt was ... much more rustic!<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Desperation Gluten-Free Buttertarts!<\/h2>\n

Now, what follows is an example of what happens when sheer desperation takes over. <\/p>\n

My sincerest apologies for the crappy cell phone photography. My husband\/photographer was not home, and I was NOT about to wait!<\/p>\n

After I made the dough and pulled out the ingredients for the filling, I realized that I had NO idea where all my muffin pans were. <\/p>\n

I couldn't find them in our \"temporary necessities\" pile of kitchen stuff in the dining room, so they were likely packed away for longer term storage (Until the shelving is done). <\/p>\n

So.. I had't seen them since the May 22 tornado.<\/a><\/p>\n

As I already have way more muffin pans than anyone could ever use (short of owning a cake business!), there was no way I was going to buy any more. <\/p>\n

Our \"long term storage\" is in the roof crawl space right under where the tree hit though. <\/p>\n

I've seen the gigantic bugs that came in from not having a roof for several weeks, so I wasn't exactly thrilled at the idea of going in there. <\/p>\n

Ugh. *shiver*. No one should ever be able to mistake a bug for a MOUSE.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

The Solution... <\/h4>\n

So... I MacGuyvered a solution from tin foil, and it worked out VERY well! I love super deep butter tarts, so this was a bonus.<\/p>\n

First, I pulled out a piece of tinfoil that was roughly square. <\/p>\n

I folded it in half one way, then in half again - making a smallish square. <\/p>\n

I molded it down over the bottom of a glass, rolling what would become the top edge of the tart cup a bit to give it some more stability.<\/p>\n

\"Homemade<\/p>\n

I divided the dough into 12 equal pieces, flattened each pieces out in my hand, and carefully set it in the makeshift muffin cup. <\/p>\n

Then, working from the middle, I pressed the dough out, flat against the bottom, snug into the bottom edge, and evenly up the sides.<\/p>\n

Each giant cup was able to take a pretty big handful of raisins - I went though almost a pound of them!<\/p>\n

\"Homemade<\/p>\n

If you find yourself in a similar predicament and want to do it this way, increase your baking time by 5-10 minutes, checking often to prevent burning.<\/p>\n
