1/4 cup confectioners sugar
1/2 cup ground walnuts
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted and cooled
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Container:9" tart pan

Directions

PREP

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray the pan with a vegetable spray. (Use regular pie pan or a tart pan with a removable bottom.)
Sift together flour, salt and confectioners sugar into a small bowl. Blend in the ground walnuts and then beat in the cooled melted margarine/butter and vanilla extract until all combines and forms a thick dough.
Press the dough into the tart/pie pan with your fingers until it is evenly distributed on the bottom and sides of pan.
Place the pan in preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove from oven, place on a wire rack to cool. Fill with a filling of your choice.

"great recipe. simple and inexpensive to make. my valentines day concept consisted of filling 4" walnut shortbread tart crusts with a maple nut mousse, topping with caramel drizzle and a nice Grand Marnier raspberry coulis, and decorative spun sugar twill balanced nicely in the mousse for added presentation.
