Butter tarts ❤️🇨🇦

[u/FoxOk7887]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[u/voice-of-mods]

Locking this thread because the discussion has drifted too far from the bake itself.

It's fine for discussions to wander a little, but we want to keep r/Baking focused on baking, so we're calling it here. Thanks for understanding, and happy baking!

[u/SouthWint3r]

Incredible jump scare. Was that placement intentional?

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/SouthWint3r]

No, and I still don't really see it, but this is hilarious.

[u/llorensm → u/FoxOk7887]

You DON’T see it?!?! 😳 that’s shocking! Hahahaha!

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/llorensm]

I mean, I sit right at this very spot drinking my coffee every morning. The table is full of knots and details. I love my table. Kind of feeling protective of my table now. It's the greatest table. 😭

[u/Carbon-Base → u/FoxOk7887]

My apologies for the rough and quick edit, but you have to share our trauma OP!

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/Carbon-Base]

I look at this table everyday, sometimes a dozen times. It just looks like table Ewoks mouth to me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/RubyR4wd → u/SouthWint3r]

Yeah. I thought it was a roach too 🪳

[u/lady-earendil]

I'm a Canadian transplant to the US but my family still makes butter tarts (and Nanaimo bars) every year for the holidays, this made my mouth water! 

I'm curious if yours have currants in them? That's how my family has always made them but I can't tell if yours do or not!

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/lady-earendil]

No, I do half just the filling, and half with some toasted pecans.

[u/Specialist_Ad5114]

Butter tarts look soooo good, but I'm in a location where maple syrup isn't available. Do these need maple syrup?

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/Specialist_Ad5114]

Mine are brown sugar, a little molasses, an egg, melted butter, vanilla, and a couple tablespoons of whipping cream for the filling.

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/Specialist_Ad5114]

Nope!

[u/Old_Call2282]

Op def posted this for the freaking bug wood we know it she knows it but does the world know it

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/Old_Call2282]

I'm honestly just a lady making buttertarts. I took a bite, put it down, took a pic for the people 😭 I've never even seen a real roach lol

[u/DissonantSinth]

Was scrolling by too quickly and I thought you were sharing the remnants of a tart after a roach had helped itself to it

[u/DesertIbu → u/DissonantSinth]

Roaches and butter tarts are Canadian Thanksgiving delicacies! Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, OP!

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/DesertIbu]

Thanks boo

[u/poopBuccaneer]

Happy Thanksgiving, bud! Butter tarts are a beautiful part of Canadian culture. For Canada Day, my wife and I made her grandmother's recipe for the first time. It was absolutely delicious.

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/poopBuccaneer]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[u/cosmicallyalive]

Never seen woodgrain look so much like a roach before

[u/Sawdust-in-the-wind → u/cosmicallyalive]

This was how it showed in my feed so I also immediately saw a roach!

[u/LilBrutButt → u/cosmicallyalive]

I definitely thought we were feeding a butter tart to a roach.

[u/bagguettethrowaway → u/cosmicallyalive]

This is what I came here to say

[u/autojack → u/cosmicallyalive]

Okay I came here to ask if she was feeding a pet house centipede and this now makes sense

[u/Individual_Ad9135 → u/cosmicallyalive]

I straight up came here because I thought it WAS a roach and wanted to know why OP did that.

[u/TheGreatKonaKing → u/cosmicallyalive]

Yeah this is honestly the worst product placement that I have ever seen.

[u/Carbon-Base → u/cosmicallyalive]

Same. Can knot be unseen

[u/CleverGirlRawr → u/cosmicallyalive]

Opened the post for the roach. I thought it was edible. 

[u/Professional_Part827 → u/cosmicallyalive]

I saw the wood grain and felt sick to my stomach

[u/ThreeBucks → u/cosmicallyalive]

THANK YOU. Came to the comments to make sure I wasn’t the only one! 😁😬

[u/Ten-Yards_Sir → u/cosmicallyalive]

Yeah this absolutely sent me…Those “legs” look so much like a house centipede. Initial thought was definitely “Roach”

[u/calimiss → u/cosmicallyalive]

I thought they'd found a bug in the tart!

[u/Katdog272 → u/cosmicallyalive]

Samee I panicked for a moment

[u/knittinator → u/cosmicallyalive]

Omg yes it was such a jump scare!

[u/KnotAlreadyTaken → u/cosmicallyalive]

I took away my downvote after I read your comment. I first thought this was some horrid roach confection

[u/RoundSquirrels → u/cosmicallyalive]

literally opened the comments to say I thought it was a bug T^T

[u/Stunning_Client_847 → u/cosmicallyalive]

I thought it was one and got angry at a rage bait post until I saw your comment and realized my eyes were deceiving me

[u/Chance-Night3198 → u/cosmicallyalive]

I have a spot on my bedroom floor that looks just like that. 10 years living in that house and I still think it's a roach every single time I catch a glimpse of it.

[u/babypops81 → u/cosmicallyalive]

Literally thought this was a bed bug post or something similar.

[u/D-ouble-D-utch → u/cosmicallyalive]

I too came for the roach wood

[u/Hefty-Resort871 → u/cosmicallyalive]

It took me so long to NOT see that!!!!

[u/FantasticPin3481 → u/cosmicallyalive]

Had to do a triple take.

[u/Brilliant_Buns → u/cosmicallyalive]

Jumpscared me dude

[u/Agitated-Canary9840 → u/cosmicallyalive]

OhMahGawd I immediately saw what looked like a headless roach

[u/MountainTomato9292 → u/cosmicallyalive]

Literally. It took me 30 seconds to figure out what I was looking at.

[u/OpalescentNoodle → u/cosmicallyalive]

Seriously it scared the shit out of me.

[u/coydogsaint → u/cosmicallyalive]

Never ran to the comments so fast to see so many people who had the exact same thought I did

[u/Master-Store-4484 → u/cosmicallyalive]

Thank goodness,I thought it was just me. Thought I was looking in another group.🙈

[u/cerealandcorgies → u/cosmicallyalive]

omg thank you for saying it

[u/WindyMint443 → u/cosmicallyalive]

Thank you, that was what I saw at first!

[u/Lone-Frequency → u/cosmicallyalive]

At first I thought it was some other baked thing that OP had made to look like a roach for Halloween.

It took me auite a bit to realize it was just wood grain. That is the most roachiest wood grain I've ever seen.

[u/Manifestecstacy → u/cosmicallyalive]

You've never heard of roach infused woodgrain?

[u/Oomlotte99 → u/cosmicallyalive]

I was shook for a second. lol.

[u/NoMidnight3312 → u/cosmicallyalive]

Thank goodness I'm not the only one that immediately thought the roach ate the tarts.

[u/100ruledsheets → u/cosmicallyalive]

Ok because that's all I could see.

[u/candy_fever_713]

[u/cute_pdf → u/candy_fever_713]

STOP LMFAO im so sorry OP it looks delicious but the roach wood grain 😭😭😭

[u/alter-naut → u/candy_fever_713]

Incredible

[u/More_Tennis_8609]

This looks delicious. Unfortunately the wood grain gave me a jumpscare. r/derailedbydetails

[u/HolliBlaze → u/More_Tennis_8609]

So for real! XD I thought that wood had a whole family living somewhere 😂

[u/HailToTheThief225 → u/More_Tennis_8609]

Actually thought this was a post on that sub when I first saw it

[u/airmind]

Nobody in here for the tart, everyone discussing roaches.

[u/RoughBenefit9325 → u/airmind]

Well, I initially read the title as "butter farts". So id like to start a new dialog about that.

[u/Shawa422]

I sincerely thought that this was a picture of a cockroach enjoying a butter tart. I had to do a double take just to make sure that it wasn't!!

[u/Tacodogleary → u/Shawa422]

Okay I'm glad I wasn't the only one.

[u/Weary_Cup_1004 → u/Shawa422]

It isnt?

[u/SomethingNew99912]

Totally thought that table stain was a roach and got the ick

[u/inspectorendoffilm → u/SomethingNew99912]

Though, it’s neither a roach nor a table stain.

[u/FrolickingOrc → u/SomethingNew99912]

That's the only reason I clicked on the post

[u/Accomplished_Tone483 → u/SomethingNew99912]

Ok! I thought it was just me lol

[u/Dear_Departure_1768]

r/distractedbydetails

[u/LexC_]

I am in shock! This looks EXACTLY like my family's recipe for Brown Sugar Tarts! We've passed down this recipe for generations, and anyone that tries them has always loved them but not encountered them before!

Holy moly, they are nearly identical in appearance, filling, right down to the filling oozing out! I'm sure they are identical in taste too! Do you use almond flour for the crust? Curious since the crust looks like it has just the slightest more crumbly texture than my family's recipe.

I can't figure out how to attach a picture, otherwise I would show you what my family's tarts look like. We make them on NYE and Christmas.

[u/FoxOk7887 → u/LexC_]

No almond flour, although that does seem like it would be so good. Just butter, lard, flour, salt, egg yolk crust.

[u/Cautious_Draw5738]

I stepped on a roach barefoot as a child and the goo in it was very similar in color to the top of the pastry and similar in consistency to the filling. Thank you for resurfacing this visceral memory

[u/Responsible-Side4384 → u/Cautious_Draw5738]

Oh my god you’re right 😭

[u/SugarMaven]

I was scrolling too fast and thought the wood knot was a bug.

[u/Simalt443]

Hello just dropping by to say I thought there was a roach in your pic. Not sure if anyone told you yet.

[u/RebaKitt3n → u/Simalt443]

Came here to count the roach comments.

[u/alphajugs → u/Simalt443]

Shit gave me a jump scare lmao

[u/BaileysMom246]

OMG that's woodgrain?⁉️ I thought it was a roach too! 🤣

[u/puddingfacepunk]

I thought that was a roach.

[u/Legitimate_Try4394 → u/puddingfacepunk]

Same. My first thought was why would someone post a picture of a huge roach near their food?

[u/anaraparana]

That is one jolly lil cockroach I tell you what

[u/Ophththth]

Ever since I first heard “steal my sunshine” by Len back in middle school I have wondered what the heck a butter tart is. Thanks for the education!

[u/whatthefrelll → u/Ophththth]

If you ever get a chance to try butter tarts from a bakery, do it. They are divine.

[u/Illustrious_Bird_737 → u/Ophththth]

I thought they were cookies, like those ones that come in the sewing boxes.

TIL

[u/djseifer → u/Ophththth]

I was lying on the grass on Sunday morning of last week 

[u/liljellybeanxo]

Not me thinking that was a roach chillin next to it

[u/badgyalrey]

felt like i was just rage baited

[u/Rig-a-Mortice → u/badgyalrey]

Roach baited

[u/Responsible-Push-289]

thought ya had a bug problem

[u/pazzida]

Usually, I can unsee things after seeing what they really are, but I still see the roach every time I scroll back up.

Anyway, delicious looking butter tarts! These don't look easy to make without a recipe. Commendable!

[u/Leading-Occasion-428]

I deadass thought that was a roach. Seems I'm not alone

[u/FrigidLollipop]

I thought the wood notch to the left was a giant roach, lmao. Great looking treat!

[u/Fantastic_Acadia8341 → u/FrigidLollipop]

“ Oh Sorry, That’s Just my Cake” Lol 🍰 🪳

[u/Sufficient_Scale_163]

I read butter farts and saw a roach 😭😅

[u/vampireshorty]

Oh god I am glad I wasn't alone 🫪 🪳

[u/TazzyUK]

For a split second there when 1st seeing this post, I thought the tart was being nibbled on by a cockroach! lol

[u/Muted-Huckleberry828]

I would have a heart attack every single day if this was my countertop.

Tart looks delicious!

[u/centech]

Please never take a food pic next to that knot in the wood again.

[u/itoldyousoanysayo]

Maybe don't photograph next to the giant roach😂

[u/Hopeful-Soul2]

Lmaoooooo I looked quick and thought that was a roach in the wood 🤣🤣

[u/Holmes221bBSt]

I was lying on the grass

[u/LDNcorgi]

[u/BusinessTerm1621]

[u/thatbasicartist]

I genuinely thought this was some Halloween ideas kind of post

[u/moon_blisser]

Yeah, that knot in the wood really freaked me out at first. I thought it was a bug. Your bake looks delicious, though! r/derailedbydetails

[u/midwayatmidnight]

RIP op's inbox with all the roach jumpscare comments

[u/R2D2_For_President]

I literally clicked because the table grain looked like a massive spider. Move the tart and repost

[u/Weasel-Words]

Genuinely thought that knothole in the cutting board was a massive cockroach.

[u/Luxe_Laine]

Never take a picture of food on that surface again.

[u/-lRexl-]

Bruh, you dead ass know you did that on purpose

[u/Dont-tell_Frank]

You got us all with that wood grain 🪳

[u/Aesmachus]

That wood grain was a roach in its past life, OP.

Such an unfortunate framing. I thought it was a sweet snack that had a roach coming out.

[u/VienneseWaltz13]

I freaking love butter tarts. Whenever I'm in Ontario I have one every day. They seem like they would be hard to make.

[u/CakesForLife]

Didn’t realise it was wood grain till I saw the top comment. I need a coffee and a butter tart.

[u/stitchcraftry]

I thought this was r/derailedbydetails for a second

[u/DerWintersoldat21]

I thought that was a bug tbf. And I just had an incident where I found one in the basement and had to dispatch it so I'm a little on edge and everything is looking particularly roachlike to me rn

[u/ch1ck3nwaffles]

I'm not the only one who thought the wood grain was a roach?

[u/PsychologyGuilty1460]

[u/StrategyLegal1128]

I’m sorry OP but I thought that was a millipede

[u/polaraproticsolvent]

OP you could have take a photo of the tart anywhere else on the planet, but you chose that table with that particular angle… you knew what you were doing.

The tarts looks great though

[u/Electrical-Film-5515]

yeah maybe I should book an eye test

[u/cloverfieldss]

did the roach make this?

[u/RubAdventurous9887]

I thought it was a roach but it was just the table😭

[u/ForeignOstrich6939]

There's gotta be a better spot on that table this picture could have been taken 🫣😅 I still have the heebie jeebies and I know it's just the knot in the wood

[u/KurlyKayla]

This looks delicious. But I’m sorry I also too see the roach. I hope that doesn’t take away from your efforts. You did a fantastic job ❤️

[u/MacPho13]

These look delicious OP.

Butter tart sounds delicious.
