Makes
ten inch tart crust
Author Notes
Everybody that cooks has their go-to recipes. These are hip pocket and after some time, one never needs to refer to the written instructions.
I can make a standard pie crust in my sleep. And every variation from pate brisee ordinaire, to pates sucrees.
However, everyone needs a really quick and easy crust that doesn't need rest time. And this is the nut crust. Use any nuts, from walnuts to pecans, just toast them first to bring out the flavor. —gpaera
