Ingredients
-
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt
-
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
-
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water, as needed
Directions
-
Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor until just combined, about 3 pulses. With processor running, add cubed butter through food chute, processing until some pea-size pieces of butter remain, about 10 seconds. Add water through food chute, 1 tablespoon at a time as needed, pulsing until dough just begins to clump together, about 10 pulses.
-
Transfer dough to a work surface, and knead until it just holds together, about 3 times. Shape into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap, and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days.
