Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquid. Add the granulated sugar to the melted butter and mix until combined. Stir in the all-purpose flour and salt until the mixture forms a dough.

Bake the Crust
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a greased 9x9 inch baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
