Shortbread pie crust.
Pulse a few times in a food processor to get well mixed:
1 1/4 c All Purpose flour
1/3 c sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
Then add 1 stick cold butter cut into pieces. Pulse a few times to get it all to a coarse crumb type consistency.
Add 1 large egg yolk and pulse just a few more times to get it to come together.
Pat the dough down into your pie pan or roll it out like I do my normal pie crusts - just don't add any more flour. Do not attempt to crimp the edges.. its too fragile. Poke some holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake 18 - 22 minutes at 400 degrees.
