  2. Remove the mixture from the heat, add the flour, and stir until the mixture comes together. Turn it out into a tart pan (or just onto a baking sheet, if you like), and lightly press. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes, until it’s cool enough to handle.

  3. Press the crust into the pan until it’s about 1/4″ thick. Lightly score the base with a fork, and bake in a 400 degree oven until lightly browned, 12-15 minutes. Let cool completely.

I am just cruising around in cooks because the new format still confuses me and ran across this recipe. Luv pies, peaches, and rice pudding and just made my first recipe with brown butter. Can't wait to try this next summer, thanks!
