Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until the flour mixture is moistened. When you squeeze a handful of the moistened pastry mixture, it should form a ball. Divide dough in half and shape into balls.

• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out 1 pate brisee disk to an 1/8-inch thickness. Carefully drape over a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Working quickly, roll out remaining pate brisee disk to an 1/8-inch thickness. Use a ruler to measure a 9-inch circle in center, and mark lightly without cutting through dough. With a 1/2-inch round cutter, cut holes within the marked circle about 1 inch apart.
• Fill prepared tart pan with raisin mixture. Using a pastry brush, gently brush edge of dough in tart pan with water, and top with perforated dough, making sure to center it. Using kitchen shears, trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Press doughs together to seal. Using a rolling pin, roll over top of tart, flush with rim, and remove dough scraps. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
