Sweet Pastry Dough for Turnovers image

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

1. Put the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor bowl and pulse 6 to 8 times to blend. Add the butter and process until crumbly, 10 to 15 seconds. 2. In a small bowl, beat together the egg yolk and the water. Add to the flour mixture all at once, and process until the dough comes together. Remove the dough from the processor and divide in half for easier handling and form into 2 discs. Dust each lightly with flour. The dough is ready to use. Cover and refrigerate while making the filling. If not using right away, cover with plastic and refrigerate up to 3 days.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
