Sounds like treacle tart. Once in school I was told to eat my treacle tart or I couldn't go out for recess. I sat staring at the damned thing until classtime.

So, its just a solid mass of corn syrup and crust?

For our American friends, imagine pecan pie. Now instead of pie it is tarts. Still with me? Okay, no remove all the pecans. Butter Tarts are tiny pecan pies made without pecans. This is how Canada do.

I gotta disagree with you there. It's not strictly "traditional" but pecans, raisins, and walnuts are all standard toppings on butter tarts (as well as weird poo poo like candied bacon or whatever). They also differ from pecan pie due to a lack of corn starch in the crust.

It's nothing mindblowing but butter tarts are very good imo.

Gremlins 2 is a treasure and an antiquity. These days, Disney or whoever would just go lol and make up a hologram of Joe Dante to direct some messy mediocre Greatest Gremlin Hits.

Joe is still alive and could yet still make a new Gremlins movie. i choose to believe that he will.

To my understanding, molasses is a type of treacle, if that helps.

To keep all recent topics neatly bound together, I always for some reason associated "Mrs. Treacle" as the name of the old lady in Gremlins with the stair chair



Or maybe it was the guy Gollum stole the Ring from

From the context of being hard, minable, edible, and sweet I assumed it was some sort of hard syrup candy like sad Dickensian ragamuffins would eat that tastes like total poo poo but they don't know any better.

Treacle is a syrup, it's just a catch-all name for refined sugar that isn't crystallised. Golden syrup and molasses are both types of treacle.

And the treacle mines in Discworld use pumps and buckets to get the goodies, it's more oil extraction than hard-rock mining.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Yeah I forgot about the raisins. Around here there is usually, but not always, raisins.

Brown sugar, mostly. Sometimes brown sugar and maple syrup or brown sugar and corn syrup.

3/4 cup (165g) packed brown sugar
1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter
1 tbsp (15ml) table or whipping cream
1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
1 large egg

OR

1/2 cup of lightly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup of maple syrup
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg slightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup raisins or chopped nuts (optional)

OR

1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
½ cup raisins, substituting, pecans, walnuts or chocolate chips also make good variations


To bring this back on topic I will now look for funny pictures related to butter tarts. Wish me luck.











I'm sorry everyone, I failed.
