Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C) while I prepare my crust. In a mixing bowl, I combine the flour and powdered sugar before cutting in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. It’s a favorite part of mine because I love the buttery aroma that fills my kitchen! I then press this mixture into the bottom of my greased baking pan and bake for about 15 minutes, or until it’s just lightly golden. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
