Something Old, Something New

So, with the tarts, is the ratio of crust higher than with pie?

Wiki on Butter Tarts - what a fascinating read! Did not know they were so famous in Eastern Canada!

2nd tart picture - Saveur Tarts above and full Pie below

pie picture - Serious Eats
Hope this shows you the difference taxy. Can you see where I might think that the tart's ratio of crust to fillings might be more?

and now after having looked up all those pictures I have SUCH a craving!!!

My mom died in January but we put her to rest as a family a few weeks ago.

One of the things I spoke to then was how she always treated me as a little adult. This included cooking. From age 3 forward she taught me how to cook. I had my own little set of tools and a stepstool to the stove.

I learned how to make bechemel sauce/mornay sauce when I was 5.

I baked cakes and bread then with the proficiency I have now. (cakes zero, bread 9). I was responsible for the evening starch and vegetable starting at age 7. I loved it!

She handwrote cookbooks for my brother, sister and I of our family favorites... WHAT A GIFT. See my post of Myrtle's Swedish Meatballs.
