This is a base recipe and can also be found in Keeping it Simple...so if you are not organised to have access to this recipe, then there are two options. Not pretty, but very practical. Whenever a biscuit base is called for, this is a great alternative if you have the time. (And really, how much time does it require? Not a whole lot.) EASY. Quicker than running to the store for a packet of biscuits....yep. Great in so many recipes. Think cheesecakes, ice-cream cakes, lemon/lime meringue pie etc etc. Go for it.
