Step-by-Step Instructions
First, we start by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). In my kitchen, I whisk together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until they resemble wet sand. This mixture is then pressed firmly into the bottom of my baking pan to create a solid crust. Once that’s done, I pop it in the oven for about 8 minutes until it’s lightly golden. The smell that wafts through my kitchen at this point is heavenly! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
