Crust: Nut Crust
Source of Recipe
All-American Desserts by Judith M. Fertig
List of Ingredients
1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped nuts (see Note)
Recipe
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients with your hands or blend with a rubber spatula. Pat evenly over the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform or deep-dish pie pan.
Bake until the crust is just beginning to brown, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and continue with the recipe of your choice.
YIELD: Makes 1 crust for a 9-inch springform pan or a deep-dish pie.
NOTE: Use flaked almonds, unsalted dry-roasted cashews and peanuts, whole macadamia nuts or pistachios, chopped hickory nuts or pecans, or whole hazelnuts. Chop the nuts in a hand-cranked nut grinder or in a food processor.
