This Butterscotch Tart is a delicious show-stopper to share with family and friends at a dinner party. Use canned strawberries for delicious tasting fruit all-year round. Serves 6-8. Preparation time 5 minutes. Cooking time 15 minutes.
Method:
- Preheat your oven to gas mark 5, 190°C or for a fan oven 170°C.
- In a small non-stick saucepan, melt the butter and sugar together.
- Add the condensed milk and bring to a gentle boil, stirring continuously until thickened and a pale butterscotch colour. This will take about five to ten minutes. Do not overcook as the butterscotch will become too firm.
- Pour the butterscotch into ready-made pastry cases and place in the oven for ten minutes.
- Remove the tarts from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- To serve, drain the canned strawberries well to decorate and dust with a little sieved icing sugar.
Hints and Tips
Any leftover butterscotch can be warmed gently and served with ice cream.
