Grease a 9" springform pan. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (176 °C).
If you don’t want to use a food processor, add everything but the butter to a large bowl, and then use a pastry cutter to incorporate the butter until you have crumbs.
If you want to use a food processor, add all the crust ingredients except for the butter to the bowl.
Pulse a few times to combine the dry ingredients, add the butter, and pulse until you have fine crumbs. It shouldn’t form a dough - just crumbs!
Press into the prepared pan, making sure it goes all the way to the very edge of the pan, but it shouldn’t go up the sides.
Poke holes, about every 1”, with a fork over the crust.
Bake for 17-20 minutes or until lightly browned.
Place on a cooling rack to cool for 15 minutes before filling. Then fill and follow your cheesecake filling recipe.
