Crusts play such an important role when making pies and tarts. While we often think of them as only a shell to hold a filling, we also need to think about how their taste and texture will pair with that filling. One of my favoritecrust recipes is this Shortbread Crust, that has a buttery sweet flavor and a crisp texture. It is like a shortbread cookie only in tart form. It goes well with cream fillings, fruit fillings, chocolate fillings, and even nut fillings. It is quick and easy to make, only needs 15 minutes of chilling time in the freezer, and takes under 15 minutes to bake. Definitely a good recipe to have in our repertoire.
Here below is a list of the ingredients you will need to make this pie crust from the website plus the video to watch
