Do you ever have a recipe you pull out of a magazine and go back to over and over?

That was the theory of Saveur’s 25th Anniversary Issue, revisiting some of their favorite past creations. But instead of just choosing the most popular they went to their test kitchen directors past and present to find the recipes that really stuck with the people who saw them the most.

Current test kitchen director, Kat Craddock knew exactly which one she would choose. The Canadian Butter Tarts from a 2000 issue spoke to her as a teenager and she carried the recipe with her over the years. So we decided to have Kat over to share this intentionally runny and intensely delicious recipe that she has been going back to for 20 years.
