Ingredients
- 2cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
- 1teaspoon kosher salt
- 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted
- butter, cut into ½-inch cubes, and
- sitting at room temperature for 15

- 1. Put the flour and salt into a large mixing

- floured surface and knead by hand a few
- times to bring it together. Divide into two
- pieces and form each into a flat disc.

- days.*
- *As long as it is wrapped, this pastry freezes
- well for up to 6 months
