Preparation

Step 1

Place the flour, salt and sugar in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and blend until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With the machine running, add ice water a little at a time through the feed tube, mixing just until the dough holds together, no longer than 30 seconds.

Turn out dough onto a clean work surface. Divide the dough in half and place each ball on a sheet of plastic wrap. Flatten to form two disks. Wrap well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
