1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

3. On a lightly greased baking sheet bake the nuts for 2-3 minutes. Shake and bake for 2-3 more minutes.
4. In the food processor grind the nuts until fine.
5. Add the flour and sugar and pulse a few times to mix. Add the 10 tablespoons of butter and pulse again.
6. Form the dough into two balls and press each of them into a buttered and floured 8 inch pie pan.
7. Cut each of the rounds of dough into 16 slices.
8. Bake on the middle oven rack for 20 - 25 minutes, or until pale golden. Let cool on a rack before cutting again and inverting onto a plate.
