Shortbread Crust
Makes one thick 10" pie crust or two thin 9" crusts
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Stir together flour and baking powder, blend into butter mixture. For a thick crust, pat into a 10-inch pie plate - or if you prefer a thin crust, divide dough and pat into two 8 or 9-inch pie plates and pop it into the freezer for 10 minutes before baking to firm up butter. Bake in pre-heated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned.
