Ingredients

  • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons ice water

Preparation

  1. Insert the universal blade into the work bowl of the Cuisinart® 7-Cup Food Processor. Add the flour and salt to the work bowl, and process to sift.
  2. Add the cubed butter over the flour mixture. Pulse 8 to 10 times, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of the ice water. Pulse to incorporate.
  4. Add the remaining water 1 teaspoon at a time, pulsing to incorporate, just until the mixture forms a dough that holds together when pinched (you may not need all the water).
  5. Form the dough into a flat disc. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
  6. The dough keeps for up to a week in the refrigerator or in the freezer for up to 3 months
