Step 12
With a pie cutter, cut in shortening until the particles are pea sized.
Step 13
Sprinkle in water, 1 tsp or so at a time, mixing lightly with a fork. Don’t over mix or the crust will be tough.
Step 14
Press into a ball. It is okay if it is crumbly. In fact crumbly makes for a tender, flaky crust!
Step 15
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Step 16
Using a rolling pin, roll out the pie dough to about an 1/8 of an inch thickness.
Step 17
Using a 3 inch circle (like a drinking glass, or cookie cutter), cut out your tart shells, either 12 or I rework any extra dough to make more tarts.
Step 18
Place the tart shells into a muffin tin.
Step 19
Add a heaping tablespoon of the butter tart mixture into the shell, then add a tablespoon of the Saskatoon pie filling on top of the butter tart filling. Do NOT mix.
Step 20
Bake for 18 – 20 minutes, or until the crust is slightly browned.
Step 21
Let the tarts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then remove them onto a cooling rack.
