At the By George Journal<\/em>, we know the “best butter tarts – ever<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

First, we must distinguish between commercially- and home-made tarts (nothing will ever be quite like a home-made tart coming out of the oven). By George recognizes best butter tarts in each of these categories.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To find “the best” commercially-made butter tarts, one needs to travel the back way into Cambridge, on regional road 97, to make a stop at Dee’s General Store.\u00a0 This landmark bakery opened in 1996 in Dee’s General Store, which opened its doors a decade earlier. Dee’s famous Butter Tarts (to Die For) are award winners! When The Kitchener-Waterloo Record<\/em> held a “best bought butter tart contest”, \u00a0Dee’s tarts came out on top, winning over tried and true tart makers.<\/p>\n

Aside from the General Store, Dee today has a bakery in Cambridge (downtown Galt) and her famous butter tarts can be ordered and shipped to your door. More about Dee’s butter tarts on the General Store website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dee’s motto: “Never Underestimate the Joy of a Homemade Butter Tart.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

And then there’s Dot’s Gooey Butter Tarts.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

By George recognizes a lady in the northeastern Ontario town of Englehart as having made the “best butter tarts – ever<\/em>.” Dot’s Gooey Butter Tarts are truly second to none. Though Dot may have taken the precise secrets of her perfect fillings to her grave, she did leave this recipe as a guide.<\/p>\n
