Yield Makes 2 tart shells

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add the butter, and pulse until the mixture resembles small peas, 8 to 10 seconds.
  • With the machine running, add 1/4 cup ice water through the feed tube until the dough just starts to come together when you press it with your fingers. If necessary, add up to 2 more tablespoons ice water.
  • Divide dough into two equal balls. Flatten each ball into a disk, and wrap in plastic. Chill at least 1 hour. Dough may be frozen up to 1 month.
