Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 F (177 C). Prepare your pan by lightly oiling or lining with parchment paper.

Step 2

In the bowl or a stand mixer fit with a paddle attachment, or a large bowl with a hand mixer, mix together all of the ingredients at once. The mixture will be very crumbly.

Step 3

Using damp hands, transfer the dough crumbs into the prepared dish and pat down evenly. Use a fork to dock the dough all over.

Step 4

Bake on the middle rack at 350 F (177 C). If the filling will need to be baked, par-bake the crust for 20-23 minutes until the edges are lightly browned. If the filling will not need to be baked, bake for 30-33 minutes until the crust is completely cooked and let cool completely.

Step 5

Use as the crust for lemon bars, cheesecake, ice box pie, fruit bars, etc.
