Time 25m

Yield 1 pie shell

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup margarine
1 egg yolk, for brushing crust

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together until crumbly.
  • Press into bottom and sides of 9 inch pie plate, Brush with egg yolk.
  • Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven about 15 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Cool and fill.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: This will help create a flaky crust. If your butter is too warm, it will melt and make the dough too soft.
  • Work the dough quickly: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix the dough until it just comes together, then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the crust set and prevent it from shrinking.
  • Bake the crust until it is golden brown: This will ensure that it is cooked through.
  • Let the crust cool completely before filling it: This will help prevent the filling from making the crust soggy.

Conclusion:

Shortbread crust is a delicious and versatile pastry that can be used for a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you can make perfect shortbread crust every time.
