- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

- Pulse almonds with flour, sugar, and sea salt to a fine powder in a food processor. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps.

- Spread dough evenly over bottom and up side of pan with offset spatula. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Bake shell until golden brown all over, about 13 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
