Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 

1/4 cup sugar 

1 teaspoon salt 

1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 

2 large egg yolks 

1/4 cup ice water 

Preparation

In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, and salt until combined. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds.

In a small bowl, beat together egg yolks and ice water. With machine running, pour egg-yolk mixture in a steady stream through the feed tube; process until dough just holds together when pinched, 10 to 15 seconds.

Divide dough in half. Flatten each half into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate dough at least 1 hour or overnight or freeze up to 1 month.
