Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) cold unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 to 2 tbsp ice water

Directions:

  1. Cut butter into bits.
  2. To blend by hand: In a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender blend flour, salt, and butter until most of mixture resembles coarse meal with remainder in small (roughly pea-size) lumps. Drizzle 1 tablespoon ice water evenly over mixture and gently stir with a fork until incorporated. Test mixture by gently squeezing a small handful: When it has proper texture it should hold together without crumbling apart. If necessary, add enough remaining water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stirring until water is incorporated and testing, to give mixture proper texture. (If you overwork mixture or add too much water, pastry will be tough.)
  3. To blend in a food processor: In a food processor pulse together flour, butter, and salt until most of mixture resembles coarse meal with remainder in small (roughly pea-size) lumps. Add 1 tablespoon ice water and pulse 2 or 3 times, or until just incorporated. Test mixture by gently squeezing a small handful: When it has proper texture it should hold together without crumbling apart. If necessary, add enough remaining water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, pulsing 2 or 3 times after each addition until incorporated and testing, to give mixture proper texture. (If you overwork mixture or add too much water, pastry will be tough.)
  4. To form dough after blending by either method: Turn out mixture onto a work surface and divide into 4 portions. With heel of hand smear each portion once in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather dough together and form it, rotating it on work surface, into a disk. Chill dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 30 minutes, and up to 1 day.
