Cut 1 1 /2 sticks cold butter into pieces and add to processor. Process with 8 quick on/off turns. Mix together 1 egg and milk or water and with machine on, add through feed tube; blend just until dough forms a ball and leaves sides of bowl.

Spoon evenly over prebaked crust. 4. Return to oven and bake 25 to 30 mins, or until golden brown. Let cool before cutting into 40 (1½ x 2 ½-inch) bars.
