Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 

1 1/2 tablespoons sugar 

8 tablespoons (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces 

1 large egg yolk, lightly beaten 

2 tablespoons ice water 

Preparation

In a food processor, pulse flour and sugar to combine. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 15 seconds. In a bowl, lightly beat yolk with ice water. With machine running, add egg mixture in a slow, steady stream; process until dough just holds together. On a piece of plastic wrap, press into a flattened disk; wrap well. Chill at least 1 hour.
