How to make Shortbread Crust
Description
The How to Make Shortbread Crust recipe uses 1¼ cups of all-purpose flour, 4 ounces of cold unsalted butter cut into pieces, a tablespoon of sour cream, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. The ingredients are processed together until the mixture resembles cornmeal, ensuring even distribution of butter throughout the flour. Pressed into a 10-inch tart pan, the dough bakes at 375°F for about 15 minutes until golden brown and crisp. The sour cream adds slight moisture and tenderness to balance the crumbly texture typical of shortbread. This crust provides a buttery, crumbly base ideal for sweet or tart fillings.
