Butter tarts are DH's favourite, these squares are just as good as the tarts and not near the trouble to make. They will become a regular for his "cookie jar". Thanks friend Ranikabani for sharing a sweet one!!

As a coeliac, I substituted the flour for the gluten free stuff and I still thought the end result was great. It was easy to make and very 'more-ish'. (Just presumed that the melted butter & salt were added after the beating of the eggs...?)

This recipe didnt turn out at all. It looks or tastes nothing like butter tart squares. I think some of the recipe is missing. Its was quite gross.

Sorry, but this recipe just did not work for me. I love butter tarts and this was nothing like them. The crust was bland and underbaked at the time listed and the topping dried out in the oven and turned chewy. A big disappointment. Will stick with the tarts from now on.
