Cooking ingredients:
1 recipe 2-crust pie dough, shaped into 2 logs and chilled ½ cup unsalted butter 1 cup packed dark brown or demerara sugar 2 large eggs ½ cup maple syrup 1 Tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp vanilla extract ¼ tsp salt ½ cup lightly toasted pecan pieces
Baking Instructions: Preheat the oven to 400 °F and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Pull the chilled dough from the fridge 20 minutes before rolling. Cut each of the logs of chilled pie dough into 6 pieces. Roll each piece out on a lightly floured work surface to just under a ¼-inch thick and use a 4 ½ inch round cookie cutter to cut each into a circle. Line each muffin cup with the pastry so that it comes about ½-inch higher than the muffin tin, and chill the lined tin while preparing the filling. Melt the butter and brown sugar in a saucepot over medium heat, stirring until the mixture is bubbling. Remove the pot from the heat. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla and salt and slowly pour in the hot sugar mixture while whisking constantly until incorporated. Sprinkle a few pecan pieces into the bottom of each tart shells and ladle or pour the filling into each shell. Bake the tarts for 10 minutes at 400 °F, then reduce the oven temperature to 375 °F and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the crust edges have browned. Cool the tarts in the tin and after about 5 minutes, carefully twist them around in the pan to prevent sticking and keep them in the pan until completely cooled. The butter tarts should be stored refrigerated but are best served at room temperature. The tarts can be stored chilled for up to 3 days.

How to make butter tart squares
Making squares is easier than tarts. My husband, who's family came to Canada from Germany in the 1950s, did not know what a butter tart was until he was with me. Most of my family heritage is from the UK. I can highly recommend the Company's Coming cookbooks. I have several of them and they are used fairly often. Another Canadian icon!
This is the Wikipedia entry for butter tarts : A butter tart is a type of small pastry tart highly regarded in Canadian cuisine and considered one of Canada's quintessential treats. The sweet tart consists of a filling of butter, sugar, syrup, and egg, baked in a pastry shell until the filling is semi-solid with a crunchy top. The butter tart should not be confused with butter pie or with bread and butter pudding.
