There ya go, Lonely! Now maybe I've stirred enough outrage and butter tart loyalty to bring forth an answer as to whether butter tarts are anything like buttermilk pie (or anything that can be had off the shelf at Kroger!).
But that is wisdom I do not have myself. Lonely, what is buttermilk pie like anyway? Somehow I think I can envision and en-taste it already, and it's getting a big thumbs up from me! Layers of beige are *always* fine by me. Beige usually tastes a little TOO good, whether sweet or salty! :)
> I just mosied (sp?) on over here from Admin after noticing the pretty new picture and wondering as to the nature of the object! Some kindly folks explained it was a Canadian delicacy - a butter tart - and gave me the link to this thread. I wasn't at the Canadian conf so I've never tasted one in real life but it looks good and I just LOVE buttermilk pie. Is it something like buttermilk pie?

Inspired by Larry Hoover's buttertart posts, and living far from the Canadian border, I downloaded the recipe. With help from him and other kind Canadians (are there unkind Canadians?!?) I was able to refine the recipe until it was 99% fattening and 100% delicious.
