Serve hot or warm for breakfast or for a snack.

Preparation

  • Pita Bread dough prepared and set aside

Procedure

  1. Cover oven racks with aluminum foil or place cookie sheets in cold oven.
  2. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
  3. Roll each of the 8 dough pieces into an l/8-inch thick round on a floured surface. Punch down the dough with your fingers and brush them with butter, leaving ¼ inch empty around the edge. Sprinkle the flattened, buttered dough with ½ teaspoon of sugar per round, or to desired sweetness.
  4. Sprinkle a large, flat platter with flour. Place one uncooked butter tart on the platter, and then slide the tart onto one of the hot, foil-lined oven racks, or onto a heated cookie sheet.
  5. Transfer remaining tarts in the same way and bake them for 5 minutes or until golden in color.

Serve hot or warm for breakfast or for a snack.

Tip — Kids especially like these tarts when cinnamon is added to the sprinkled sugar.
