I&#8217;m sure the husband won&#8217;t mind, though.

I&#8217;m not a fan but I have been known to use it in my Rice Krispie squares, so I already have some on hand. I&#8217;m also a bit puzzled by the comment left on the recipe using the corn syrup that the butter tarts came out runny. I&#8217;m not sure how that would happen with a strong binding ingredient like corn syrup.\u00a0Odd.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m using store bought tart shells because my hands are too hot to work with cold butters while forming pastry doughs. Oh, sure I&#8217;ve tried the dip-your-hands-in-cold-water-then-quickly-wipe-them-dry trick, but it never works for more than 30 seconds before the dough starts to mush out in my hands. It doesn&#8217;t matter how cold I can get my hands, either. Butter + my hands = disaster. I can&#8217;t even hold a chocolate bar for long because I can feel it sink into my fingers. I have to get my husband to hold it while we walk from the aisle to the checkout. Pathetic.<\/p>\n<p>Alas, this is the reason I never became a baker. It&#8217;s a curse no baker wants to have.
