Macadamia Nut Crusts
 
Makes 12
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts
  • ¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
  1. In the work bowl of a food processor, combine flour, macadamia nuts, brown sugar, and salt; process until mixture is combined. Add butter, and process until mixture is crumbly. Add egg yolk and 2 tablespoons water; process until mixture comes together.
  2. Press dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a ⅛-inch thickness. Using a 6-inch round cutter, cut dough. Press into bottom and up sides of 12 (4-inch) round tart pans with removable bottoms. Line pans with parchment paper and fill with pie weights.
  5. Place on a baking sheet, and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove parchment and pie weights, and let cool completely before using.
