Ingredients
Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add it to the flour mixture.
- Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Knead the dough gently on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
Notes
For best results, ensure the butter is very cold.
