Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 pound cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Preparation
Place flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor, and process for a few seconds to combine. Add butter, and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds.
With the machine running, add 5 tablespoons ice water in a slow, steady stream through the feed tube just until the dough holds together, 30 seconds.
Divide dough in half, and wrap each half in plastic wrap.
