Pastry Dough Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use it to line your pastry molds or cut into desired shapes for tarts or other pastries.

Pre-bake (if needed)
If your pastry recipe requires a pre-baked crust, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the lined pastry in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden.
