Pastry Dough
Method
Preparing the Pastry Dough
- 1
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk them together until evenly mixed.
- 2
Cut in the Butter
Add the cold, unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 3
Add Ice Water
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough begins to come together. You may not need all the water.
- 4
Form the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times to bring it together. Do not overwork the dough.
- 5
Chill the Dough
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
