Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 325°F (about 165°C). As the oven warms up, let’s work on the crust. I take my mixing bowl and combine the flour, softened butter, powdered sugar, and salt until it resembles coarse crumbs. This buttery mixture is pressed firmly into the bottom of my springform pan. It’s always satisfying to see the crust take shape! Once that’s done, I pop it into the oven for about 15 minutes until just lightly golden. The aroma fills the kitchen, making my mouth water!
