This recipe brings back lots of happy memories of my High School days.
Tec Voc is the High School I attended. Syd Chapman was the Chef in the school cafeteria kitchen at that time. This is where we learned how to make these scruptious butter tarts in Mr. Chapman's cooking class.
This recipe comes from the 40th anniversary "Tec-Voc Bakery" recipe book.
I know you will love these wonderful butter tarts if you give them a try.
Enjoy please.

- For nice gooey (runny) tarts: Watch the tarts so that the filling is puffed but still jiggly in the middle when you remove them from the oven. (it will thicken as it cools)
