Ingredients
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 1/4 sticks (18 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
Preparation
Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal. With machine running, add water until dough just holds together. Divide dough in half, and wrap each half in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days).
