How To make Shortbread Crust
1 1/2 c Unbleached Flour; Sifted 1 x Sugar; Granulated, *
1 ea Egg; Large, Separated, ** 1/2 c Butter; Softened, ***
* Use from 1/4 to 1/3 cup of granulated sugar. (To Taste.) ** Separate the large egg and lightly beat the yolk. *** Use only sweet cream, unsalted butter in this recipe. NO MARGARINE. ~
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Working on a large flat surface, such as a pastry board, place the flour and the sugar in the center of the surface and mix together. Form a small depression or well in the center of the mound. Add the beaten egg yolk and the softened butter to the well, ten blend these with the dry mixture. Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands :
there's no substitute for warm hands. Shape the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 10 minutes. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4-inch. You should have a circle of about 11 inches in diameter. For best results, roll out your dough between 2
sheets of waxed paper, then peel away the paper and cut the crust in a 9-inch circle. Place the circle inside a 9-inch springform pan. Prick the
crust several times with a fork to keep the crust from puffing up during the baking. Place the springform pan in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until light brown. Allow to cool. Using the leftover dough, line the sides of the springform pan. Press the dough against the sides of the pan, smoothing it so as to have a continuous layer of crust all the way around the sides of the pan. Make sure that the side crust meets the bottom crust all the way around. Brush the reserved egg white onto the shell, covering the bottom and sides. This will seal the dough and keep it from becoming soggy. Set aside until ready to use. NOTE: For the Italian Cheesecake, add 1 ts of grated lemon rind and 1 ts of Amaretto Liqueur when adding the egg yolk and butter. -----

For the recipe that has detailed information including nutrition, click here:
Recipe tips:
If using a darker pan, reduce temperature 25F (4C) and bake an additional 5 - 10 minutes to prevent over browning.
Make the crust the night before and chill it overnight covered or go ahead and bake it, cool it then cover until the next day. Shortbread lasts for weeks when prepared correctly.
You can feel free to omit both salt if using salted butter and substitute the vanilla for a different flavor. If you look closely, I’m using lemon juice in the video.
Margarine or shortening can be used instead of butter, but vegetable spread is not recommended as it doesn’t have enough fat content.
Recipes were created by weighing ingredients. For best results, use a scale and not measuring cups. The recipe can be subject to change. Be sure to check website for any alterations.

Recipe here: Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make a shortbread crust. A Sweet Pastry Crust, also known as Pate Sucree, is a rich and sweet pastry with a crisp cookie-like texture. Once made, this pastry can be stored in the refrigerator for several days. You might also want to make an extra batch and pop it into the deep freeze, as it freezes so well. That way, when the urge hits, you can produce a quick dessert with very little effort. This Sweet Pastry Crust is ideal for making both large and small sized tarts, especially those filled with fruit and/or cream.
