Cut butter roughly and put into the bowl of a food processor. Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder & salt, mixing well.

With food processor running, pour the liquid down the feeder chute and mix until it all begins to clump together. Add remaining T of water if needed. Remove pastry from processor and divide into four separate parts. Pat together gently and wrap individually in plastic wrap. Chill at least 2 hours (overnight is better).
