For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling. If using homemade tart shells, ensure they are blind-baked for a few minutes before adding the filling to prevent a soggy bottom. The filling should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center when removed from the oven. It will continue to firm up as it cools. Store leftover butter tarts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
