Lavender Tart Crust

Step 1

| Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Massage with hands until all crackers are coated and when pinched together hold together. |
|
Step 2
|
| Transfer all ingredients into a non-stick 9” tart pan, or two 4” tart pans, whichever you prefer. |
|
Step 3
|
| With a piece of plastic wrap as a barrier for your hands, push and mold the crust into the tart pan, allowing ¼” thickness throughout. |

Step 4
|
| Bake in the oven at 350F for 10 minutes, or until the crusts are nutty and aromatic. |
