okonomiyaki, a traditional Japanese dish, in Americanized form! a bacon- and vegetable-filled pancake that is savory. You can make it your own way, but I like to keep mine straightforward. If desired, drizzle okonomi sauce and mayonnaise over top.

Reviews
I made these for a special occasion my husband loved the lemon flavor. He gave them 4.5 stars out of 5. I used good quality vanilla. I say leave in Vanilla but lose the lemon extract. I hated the flavor of the extract personally. Lemon juice might work better.
I made them following the recipe. I didn’t have lemon extract so I used 1 tsp of lemon juice. Overall EXACTLY what a butter tart tastes like.
These were pretty good – would like to find a recipe that is even better
Made these as written. It was easy, but they turned out kind of dry. Would look for a different recipe next time.
This recipe was simple, but so was the taste. Its fine if you’re looking for an OK tart. I personally prefer a butter tart with a gooier center and more filling. The addition of lemon extract was interesting, but I did find it took away from the sweetness a bit. If that’s what you’re looking for in a tart, its great. Personally, I’ve had better.
I thought this recipe was great. I added pecans because that’s what I had on hand, no raisins though and didn’t bother with the lemon. I didn’t want a runny recipe so this was perfect. I’ll be making these again for a Christmas get together, I’m sure they’ll be a big hit.
Made these for my parents the other night. Rave reviews!
Super easy and delisious
I was hesitant to use this recipe as didn’t seem to be traditional. Well, throw those worries away! My Fiancée playfully proposed again after his first one…and as he gobbled up the last one announced “Make these again…tomorrow!”. I used a whipped shortbread for the tart shell. (Pastry isn’t my strong point.) It worked out really well. I forgot to put in the lemon juice and they were still amazing! Great recipe, thank you so much for sharing! : )
These were quick and easy to whip up. As recommended, I omitted the lemon extract and did the second bake for only 10-12min only. Yummy!
Great recipe. I use this with my Food Studies students and they love it! Sometimes we add craisins and double the recipe. Yum!
Awesome! This was my first time making butter tarts and they were a hit with my family and very easy to make. I might have overfilled them, however, as I could only fill about 6 tart shells per batch of filling. Nonetheless they were really tasty.
Delicious! I omitted the lemon and vanilla extract, as well as the raisins. I put a pecan half on the tops, and baked at 400 for 10 minutes, and at 350 for 15 minutes and mine were perfect.
Very tasty, I left out the lemon like some suggested. I also made my own tart shells.
I have always wanted to make butter tarts, and this was a great first try. I had my husband go out and buy me lemon extract. Don’t waste your money, it’s really not that nice of a taste. Will be leaving that out the next time I make them. Also, i used pre-made mini tart shells and only cooked them for about 12 minutes instead of 20-25 min. Oh- I almost forgot, a little to heavy on the raisins for me. Otherwise a nice butter tart!
Couldn’t have asked for a better tart recipe. I didn’t have lemon extract but the vanilla was perfect. They rose up and browned beautifully!
These are lovely and amazingly quick to make. I wish they were just a little runnier in the center but the flavour was wonderful. I’ve already made these twice since the first time and have gotten many compliments!
This recipe is quick and easy and the butter tarts taste pretty good. My personal preference, though, is a butter tart with more of a gooey filling and perhaps fewer raisins.
I loved the simplicity of this recipe. I made this with my mini muffin pan and cut out pre-made pie dough into tiny circles and filled them according to the recipe. The only thing I did not like was the lemony after taste from the extract. Next time I will only use vanilla- otherwise…YUMMY!
These were very easy to make and were pretty darn tasty. I used chopped walnuts with my filling and cooked them for 10 minutes at 400, then another 10 at 300 and that was enough! I did find the consistency to be a little too granular.
Delicious! I made two batches, the first with raisins and the next with pecans and they both turned out well 🙂 I did however I did make my own smaller pastry cups and so I didn’t leave them in as longs as suggested.
