Butter tarts
Maxwell General Store – Butter Tarts
Tanya Pisani has the energy of 5 people. She and her husband own the General Store in Maxwell – it’s on hwy 4 near Flesherton in Grey County – and they have a farm, a three year-old and Tanya has a booth at the Flesherton Market on Saturday morning.
We detoured a bit on the way to Meaford yesterday because Tanya had left a comment on one of my posts about butter tarts. She said hers had won prizes. Prize -winning butter tarts are definitely a reason for a detour.
Tanya’s butter tarts are delicious. Sort of old-fashioned in that they aren’t muffin-tin deep. I think she must actually have tart pans. She makes them with pecans and plain.
There was other delicious looking home baking but I was on my way to dinner so I exercised some restraint. Tanya makes jams and jellies and pickles too.

Great article! I have known Tanya Pisani since she was only a twinkle in her mother’s eye. She had the energy of five children when she was nine months old and could outrun me then. She is a great gal and a hard worker. I am so happy to see her finally recognized.
I was on vacation from Europe when I went through Maxwell and went into its General store. This store makes you feel you belong to the country, it has all the characteristics of a small town gereral store.
While its owner Tanya was behind the counter the main attraction was surely the little 3 years old Babbly Amanda whose smartmess outwit any other girl her age and even older.She is for sure the pride of both her parents and grand parents.
She is cute, and bright, isn’t she? I saw her with Tanya at the Flesherton Market one Saturday

Congratulations Tanya on another win at the Royal Agriculture Winter Fair for your jams and jelly and the 1st place for those Bean pickles! We are so proud of that little British Columbia gal that has energy without bounds!
And, I miss those tarts and date squares.
