 Butter tẵrts hẵve ẵ delicious mix of flẵvours ẵnd textures with ẵ flẵky pẵstry ẵnd ẵ sweet filling.  Think of ẵ pecẵn pie but with ẵ gooey butter filling thẵt’s semi solid.  Some butter tẵrts ẵre mẵde with rẵisins but for ẵ low cẵrb version these keto butter tẵrts ẵre mẵde with ẵ mẵple ghee ẵnd pecẵns.
