Yield Makes enough for two 9- to 10-inch tarts

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water

Steps:

  • Pulse flour and salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter, pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some larger pieces remaining. Evenly drizzle 1/4 cup ice water over mixture. Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed. If dough is too dry, add up to 1/4 cup more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse to combine.
  • Turn out dough onto a floured surface and divide dough in half, then shape into disks. Wrap each half in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour or up to 1 day. (Dough can be frozen up to 1 month; thaw overnight in refrigerator before using.)
