Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 pound (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup ice water
Preparation
Place flour, salt, and sugar, in a food processor and process for a few seconds to combine. Add butter; process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds.
Add ice water in a slow steady stream through the feed tube with the machine running, just until the dough holds together. Do not process for more than 30 seconds.
Turn dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Press into a flattened circle and wrap it in the plastic; refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
