Ingredients

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.)
2 Combine 1 cup flour, margarine, and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl; mix until a dough ball forms; press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch square pan.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until crust golden brown, about 20 minutes.
