- 1/2 cup Honey
- 12 tbsp Butter
- 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1/4 tsp Salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13 pan with foil and spray with non-stick spray.
- In a food processor, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt to make the crust by pulsing until mixed.
- Add cold, diced butter to the flour mixture and pulse until crumbs form.
- Transfer the crust mixture to the prepared pan and press it down evenly. Bake the crust for 18 minutes.

You can substitute maple syrup for honey for different flavor notes.
