Butterscotch Tassies
When Chrystal Carver of Gluten-Free Palate asked me to review her new cookbook, Sweet & Simple Gluten-Free Baking, her recipe for Butterscotch Tassies stood out. Hello, butterscotch? YES to ALL the butterscotch. Ok so… I had never heard of butterscotch tassies (or any tassies) before trying this recipe.
I know, I must live under some kind of rock. But they just weren’t something I grew up with. Apparently, pecan tassies are a southern cookie. Well now that makes sense. This born and raised New Englander is apparently not up on her southern cuisine. And that is about to change.
While these aren’t the traditional pecan tassies, they’re de-licious. Butterscotch is such a wonderful flavor and I feel like I don’t use it enough. Another great thing about this recipe is the fact that there are less than 10 ingredients.
In fact, almost every single recipe in Chrystal’s cookbook can be made with less than ten ingredients! While I tend to be an ingredient using queen, it’s nice to also have simple, yet tasty recipes that can be made quickly and with only a few ingredients.
Recipes like this are especially great for people who don’t cook or bake often or for people who are just starting out in the kitchen. Not that I’m excluding those who spend a considerable amount of time in the kitchen though – they’ll love the recipes in Sweet & Simple Gluten-Free Baking too! Chrystal really hit the simple and delicious concept out of the park with her recipes.
Chrystal has SO many wonderful recipes in her cookbook. In addition to these cute little butterscotch tassies, she’s got recipes for red velvet cupcakes, pumpkin cupcakes, waffles, cookies, cheesecakes, bars and MORE.
This book is FULL of fabulous gluten-free treats. You can get your very own copy here.
Enjoy!
