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.
