Butter tarts are a classic Canadian dessert made by filling crisp pastry shells with a runny mixture of butter, sugar, and eggs, then baking them. They are known for their caramel-like flavor and soft centers.
Mix the flour and salt, then rub the cold butter into the flour with your fingertips. Add the cold water and knead into a dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough and fit it into muffin pans.
Whisk the brown sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract, then stir in the walnuts.
Divide the filling among the pastry shells. Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C / 390°F for 18–20 minutes, until the filling is puffed and lightly caramelized.
Let cool for 15 minutes before removing the tarts from the pans.
Store in a covered container for 3 days at room temperature or for 1 week in the refrigerator.
