We have a lot of family traditions, be it baking, sharing or giving gifts. My family baking includes butter tarts, Christmas cake, mincemeat tarts, sugar cookies (best baked with a grand), gingerbread cookies and a Danish treat called Klejner. My daughter makes a gingerbread house with her kids every year and our daughter-in-law makes whipped shortbread.
Yesterday I shared our Christmas cake recipe and today on Tasty Tuesday I'm giving you the best
butter tart recipe you will ever have. They have been taste tested by everyone I know..................husband, sons, grands, friends. They have been given to many and approved by all.
This year I've decided to give two gifts a little bit differently. Two gals at the bank where we deal go above and beyond. We really appreciate all they do for us. We used to buy a gift certificate and put it in an envelope but this year I'm taking it one step farther.
I am going to get two empty Tim Horton Coffee Cups from one of the stores. Then Karl can buy the GC's and tuck it inside. I chose to do flowers on mine. I have two different ones made and some more cut out. Thinking next year it might make a great gift for the girls in the doctor's office.
There are tons of instructions on how to make these on the internet. Here are a few:
