Pie base

I made this a while back and I'm posting this so I have a record.

I used a can of pre-made pumpkin pie mix for the filling and didn't enjoy it as much as I have in the past. I want a re-match with the home made butternut puree filling I've used in the past.
 No sweetener, just puree of cooked butternut, eggs and spices.
It should work well with this crust and have les processed ingredients.

This crust works really well.
Recipe altered as below


The Ultimate Walnut Crust:

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups walnuts
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt I don't have the Kosher salt the MDA recipe called for and can't see the point.
2 tablespoons butter, melted


Instructions:
Blend walnuts, baking soda and salt in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter and pulse until butter is mixed in.

Scrape the batter into a 9-inch tart pan. You can use a rubber spatula to smooth the batter over the bottom and up the sides, but ultimately your fingers will be the best tool. Take your time smoothing and patting the batter out evenly. It’s better to spread the batter thinner across the bottom of the pan and thicker around the edges of the crust.
I used fingers.

Place the pie on a cookie sheet (helps to keep the bottom from burning) and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
180 degrees Celcius.

Remove the crust from the oven and pour your filling of choice inside. Bake again until filling is done.

ps I've just switched to using a Google+ profile on this blog, so if I'm now spamming all of Google+ with these posts, I apologise.
