To burn it off
A butter tart is a small pastry shell filled with butter, brown sugar, syrup and egg, baked until the top sets and the middle stays runny. It's a Canadian classic, sold at every Ontario bakery and farmers market.
One is 330 kcal, with 45 g of carbs, 16 g of fat and 3 g of protein. The carbs are mostly sugar in the filling, the fat is butter in the filling and the pastry.
Raisins or no raisins is the great Canadian argument. Pecans are the third side.
