Crust

- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- chopped pecans (optional)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix the butter sugar and butter together until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla; mix until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, and baking powder. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and blend together on low speed. Remove and shape into a smooth ball.
Place the dough on a pizza pan, pizza baking stone or cookie sheet and pat out gently to the edges.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes until the crust is golden brown on the edges. Let cool before topping.
Tip: (To save time, you could also try using a refrigerated sugar cookie dough.)
