By jann

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups All Purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 sticks of butter, cold & cubed
• 1/4 - 1/2 cup ice water
• Egg - lightly beaten for egg wash

Preparation

Step 1

In a food processor combine the flour, salt, sugar and pulse. Add in the butter and slowly gradually add the ice water. Pulse until dough just comes together. Don’t overwork the dough or it will make a tough crust.

Remove the dough from processor. Cut into two equal sections. Pat sections into discs and wrap in plastic wrap and place into refrigerator. Chill for 1 hour. (can be frozen for future use)
