Ingredients
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
Preparation
Pulse flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-size pieces remaining. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons ice water and pulse until mixture holds together when pressed between fingertips. Add additional 1 tablespoon ice water, if needed; do not overprocess.
Transfer mixture to a piece of plastic wrap. Knead once or twice. Form into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
