Grandma's tart without butter is a dessert that goes back to an old homemade recipe; however, Alice's version precludes the use of butter in the dough, significantly reducing the share of saturated fat and cholesterol. Grandma's tart without butter is however a rather caloric food, which is why the consumption portion should not exceed 30-40g in total.
