Easy sweet shortbread – pie crust recipe

Sweet shortbread pie crust is an easy and a very basic recipe which will help you rock your pie treat.
A pie can be delightful only if the crust is well made. I just can’t tolerate the soggy bottoms.

Crusts play such an important role when making pies and tarts. While we often think of them as only a shell to hold a filling, we also need to think about how their taste and texture will pair with that filling. One of my favorite crust recipes is this Shortbread Crust, that has a buttery sweet flavor and a crisp texture. It is like a shortbread cookie only in tart form.

It goes well with cream fillings, fruit fillings, chocolate fillings, and even nut fillings. I made a lemon meringue pie with the same crust and it came out fantastic. It is quick and easy to make, only needs 15 minutes of chilling time in the freezer, and takes under 15 minutes to bake. Definitely a good recipe, its a keeper.
