Shortbread crust

Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature, cubed
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar 
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 
  • pinch of salt 
  • 1 cup + 2 TBSP all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Prepare your tart pan by lightly oiling with PAM.
  2. In the bowl of a food processor, put in all the ingredients. Mix together all of the at once, stopping to scrap the sides until til combined. The mixture will be very crumbly.
  3. Using damp hands, transfer the dough crumbs into the prepared dish and pat down evenly. Use a fork to dock the dough all over.
  4. Bake on the middle rack at 350 F. If the filling will need to be baked, par-bake the crust for 20-23 minutes until the edges are lightly browned. If the filling will not need to be baked, bake for 25-30 minutes until the crust is completely cooked and let cool completely.
