Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter cut into small pieces, cold unsalted
- 2 large egg lightly beaten, yolk
- 2 to 4 tablespoons heavy cream cold; or ice water
Instructions
- Pulse the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse just until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the yolks and drizzle 2 tablespoons of the cream evenly over the mixture. Pulse just until the dough begins to come together, no more than 30 seconds. If the dough is too dry, add the remaining cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse to combine.
- Divide the dough in half, pat each half into a disk, and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months (thaw in refrigerator for several hours or overnight before using).
