How to Make Maple Syrup Tarts

Melt 1/4 cup (57g) of butter in a saucepan over low heat.
Whisk in 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until smooth.
Gradually whisk in 1 cup (240ml) of maple syrup and 1/2 cup (120ml) of milk until fully combined.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat to low and continue to stir until the mixture thickens significantly (about 3-5 minutes).
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, to ensure the filling is thick enough to hold its shape.
Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Spoon the cooled maple syrup filling into your prepared baked tart shells. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for best results.
