Equipment Needed

– Mixing bowls

Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In my kitchen, I love to line the bottom of my springform pan with parchment paper for easy removal later. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, sugar, and salt until it’s all well incorporated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan, creating an even layer. Bake the crust for about 10-12 minutes or until it’s slightly golden and fragrant, then let it cool. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
