INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 1 teaspoon salt

  • Cold Ingredients

    • 🧈 ½ cup butter, cut into 12 cubes, frozen
    • 6 tablespoons ice water

STEPS

1

Place 1 cup flour into a food processor with the blade attachment. Sprinkle frozen butter cubes over flour.

2

Cover with remaining 1 cup flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse in short bursts until butter is broken down into small pieces, about 1 minute.

3

Drizzle in ice water. Pulse with longer pulses until mixture turns pale yellow and resembles bread crumbs, 10 to 12 seconds. Scrape down the sides with a spatula. Pulse 1 to 2 more times.

4

Transfer mixture onto a work surface and gather into a ball. Flatten slightly and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to overnight before rolling out.
