For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the crust. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Let it cool slightly before adding it to the flour mixture. Toast the cashews for a more intense flavor. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
