Hey there, time traveller!

For many, the holidays aren’t complete without a batch of butter tarts. Today’s Homemade Holidays entry is a family fave from Free Press reporter Nicole Buffie. The addition of nutmeg adds warmth and depth to this sugary dainty.
“Everyone has their own take on it, but this tried-and-true Manitoba recipe has been passed down through generations and is the first sign of Christmas for my family,” writes Nicole. “Not too sweet, the perfect pinch of warm spice — they make a great addition to any holiday treat tin. This recipe also raises the ultimate question: do raisins belong in butter tarts?”
