Preparation Steps
- 1
Make the Shortbread Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms. Press the dough into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
