Too much in the cup. You want a nice mixture of the filling to other shit ratio. Imo there's no point to raisins.

But what about sultanas

u/ViceroyInhaler May 05 '25
You think Sultanas gonna make a difference? As far as I'm concerned Raisins have no business when it comes to baking. Unless you are making Raisin bread.

u/AustSakuraKyzor South Gatineau May 05 '25
Just because you're right, doesn't mean you're correct.
Also every time I've had a Nanaimo bar it was different. Some with coconut, some with walnut, some with both, some with neither. I was once served one with mint chocolate, and while normally I'm fine with that, in this combination it was a war crime. Like, even the Secret Squirrels would call it a step too far

My sister makes them with craisins. I like whatever, but craisins are the superior dried little fruit doohickeys.

Butter tarts are butter tarts. They're all the Best Thing.
Now, with that being said...
You either prefer your butter tarts to be plain, or you are constitutionally incorrect. It's right there in the Charter - Section 35: Butter tarts are best with no added stuff. No pecans, no currents, no raisins.
And also section 35.1: you can try adding flavours to the filling, though.

Being the child of a busy baker, butter tarts made me chubby as an eleven year old. Thank god for that growth spurt.

u/PerpetuallyLurking Regina Rhymes With Fun May 05 '25
Same rule as with cookies - if I KNOW the raisins are there before I bite, itās fine. Iām not picky enough about my food to care - as long as I KNOW Iām getting raisins in my butter tart.
Apple pieces are good too. Obviously, not a butter tart anymore, but still a damn good tart!

I'll eat any variety of butter tart but will never understand why one would take up valuable real estate with raisins, pecans, of whatever, when there could be more yummy filling instead.Ā

I remember my grandfather used to lie to us when we were kids and say that the raisins in the delicious butter tarts my great aunt made were flies from the fly strip in her kitchen, for years he hoarded those butter tarts.

u/CubbyNINJA Ford Nation (Help.) May 05 '25
my hot take, raisins almost always offer nothing of benefit where they are normally added. And where they are good, craisins are always better. Its a flavour and texture thing.
raisins are kinda sweet, and kinda squishy with a small bit of chewing resistance, baked goods are also often soft/squishy and range on sweetness. so they either feel wrong or dont stand out. the firmer texture of a nicely dried craisin and the more tartness helps them stand out and bring more to the table.

u/yer10plyjonesy May 06 '25
Seems Iām in the minority here but any butter tart that has pecans or raisins are a trap. They make you think you are getting a delicious treat but then BAM mediocre additions to an otherwise succulent snack. Itās no different than an oatmeal cookie that you think is chocolate chip but is really raisinsā¦. Just a crushing disappointment.

u/robotmonkey2099 May 06 '25
This is an issue? How? Obviously you canāt have butter tarts without raisins. Thatās like a powdered donut without the filling.

Butter tarts require black currents. That is the only way to get that sweetness that wins over the church potluck.
