Yield Makes two 9-inch crusts

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup ice water
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
Salt
8 ounces (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Lightly beat yolks and water in a small bowl until combined.
  • Pulse flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 20 seconds. With the machine running, add yolk mixture in a slow, steady stream. Process until mixture just begins to hold together (no longer than 30 seconds).
  • Shape dough into 2 disks, and wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes to overnight.
