Best Butter Tarts

I'm somewhat of a purist when it comes to these treats - no dried fruits, nuts or chocolate are allowed in my butter tarts. And I like a gooey centre.

Since I'm the baker, they're made according to my preferences. This recipe is perfect (if you ignore the last few filling ingredients). The tart has a high crust to filling ratio out of necessity as the filling is quite sweet. The pastry, (I use all butter), bakes up crisp and flaky, and the filling develops a thin crust that helps to contain the delicious golden goo...sheer perfection!
