Low Carb Shortbread Crust

Directions

1. 1
   NOTE: If you are preparing the crust in a 8x8 or 9x9 square baking pan with straight sides and sharp corners, spray the pan with baking spray and line with apiece of parchment that covers all or most of the bottom of the pan and overhangs two opposite sides. This will help you remove the whole dessert you make at once. But if you are preparing in a square or rectangular pyrex baking dish, just press into the baking dish and continue with your recipe.Follow the directions of your recipe as this may be pre-baked before proceeding with the recipe -OR- it may be used as is in the recipe with no pre-baking. My recipes are generally baked at 350 degrees.Measure all of the dry ingredients into a smallish mixing bowl.

   Mix thoroughly with a whisk.Melt the butter and add it to the dry ingredients. Stir and press the mixture with a large spoon or rubber spatula until the butter is incorporated. Squeeze a small amount in your hand to test if it will hold together nicely. If not, add 1-2 more tablespoons of melted butter.Press firmly into a prepared pan. Follow the directions of your recipe for baking. I bake on the bottom rack or the position of from that to get a browned bottom.
