Instructions

In your food processor add flour, butter and salt. Pulse 5-6 times to incorporate butter into flour. Do not over process, you still want to see small chunks of butter. Add ice water 1 Tbsp at a time and add only enough to moisten flour. Please refer to post for detailed instructions. Dump the mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap and lightly form into a disk. Do not handle the dough to much. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove from refrigerator and roll out.
