Ingredients
- 2cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
- 1teaspoon fine sea salt
- 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter,
- cold, and cut into ½-inch cubes
- ¼cup ice water
Preparation
- 1. Insert the chopping blade into the work bowl of the food processor. Add the flour and salt to the work bowl and process on Low to sift.
- 2. Add the cubed butter over the top of the flour mixture. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 8 to 10 pulses. Add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Pulse until mixture just forms dough (you may not need all the water). Dough is ready when it holds when pinched together.
- 3. Divide the dough equally into 2 pieces and form each into a flat disc. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
- 4. Dough keeps for up to a week in the refrigerator or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Note: For a sweet pastry dough, add 1½ tablespoons granulated sugar in with the dry ingredients.
