1/4 cup demerara sugar, packed
1 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Farenheit (200 degrees Celcius).

In a large bowl, cream butter and icing sugar until light and fluffy. Stir together flour and baking powder and then blend into butter mixture. Pat into a 9-inch pie plate.
