Ingredients

  • 3 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 3 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 c. very cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 2 extra large egg yolks, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 c. ice water

Method

  • Combine flour, salt and sugar.
  • Cut in butter with a knife or pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Gradually add egg yolks and ice water until a firm ball is formed.
  • Do not overwork dough.
  • Seal the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes before rolling out.
  • When chilled, roll out to about 1/8 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface 2 inches larger than pan into which it will be fitted.
