Notes
In Canada you can buy pre-made tart shells from Tenderflake. These made baking batches of Butter Tarts super easy. The tart shell is just a vessel for the gooey goodness inside so my mom and grandma I don't think ever took the time to make them with actual pastry.
I have not been able to find pre-made tart shells in the US. Pie dough, yes. Which is the same thing but you have to stuff it into shells. You can use that, or your favorite pastry recipe to make the tart shells.
