Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 

Pinch of salt 

3 tablespoons sugar 

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

2 egg yolks, lightly beaten 

1/4 cup water 

Preparation

Pulse flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor to combine. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds. Add yolks; pulse.

With machine running, add ice water through the feed tube in a slow, steady stream just until dough comes together (not longer than 30 seconds). Shape into a disk; wrap dough in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days.
