Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut in 1/2 inch slices
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
4 -5 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

In a bowl, stir flour and salt together; cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (use pastry blender).
With a fork, stir the egg, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons ice water together.
Sprinkle the liquid over the flour mixture and mix just until the pastry holds together, adding more water if needed.
Knead the dough in the bowl for 2 or 3 strokes, just until the dough makes a smooth ball.
Cover and chill for 30 minutes or until firm; then ready to roll out.
