Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (spoon flour into dry-measure cup and level off)
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into 6 pieces
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon cold water
Method
- Combine all the dry ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade.
- Pulse 3 or 4 times to mix.
- Add the butter and pulse about 10 or 12 times to mix the butter in finely.
- Add the egg and water and pulse repeatedly until the dough forms a ball.
- Invert the bowl to a lightly floured work surface and carefully remove the blade.
- Form the dough into a disk and wrap it in plastic.
- Refrigerate the dough for several hours or up to 3 days.
- You may also roll out the dough immediately; it will be a little soft but entirely capable of being rolled.
- Before you use the refrigerated dough, unwrap it and place it on a floured work surface.
- Gently knead the dough to render it malleable, then form it into a disk again before rolling.
