The Best Buttertarts You Ever Tasted

Ok, I was skeptical at first, but my doubts were swept away at the first bite.

I took one of the pecan tarts home and offered it to SWMBO (She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed). She agreed - with great enthusiasm.

Are buttertarts traditionally British? Not sure about that, but once people try these it will certainly become a British tradition even if it wasn't before.

Sure, you can buy a 6-pack of butter tarts in the supermarket for a lot less, but they don't measure up to these deep-shelled taste bud temptations.

Blighty's has them on trial for a limited time, at $2.99 each, in a variety of flavours. Try regular, currant, raisin or pecan and be prepared for ecstasy.

The Maids' Cottage buttertarts are handmade in a local bakery using all-natural ingredients with no additives or preservatives.
