Baked Goods, Desserts, Holiday, Pie
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. iodized salt
1/2 cup butter, cold, cut into pieces
1 egg yolk (whole egg works fine when doubling)
2 T. sugar
1-2 T. water, if needed
Food processor
Directions
Put flour, salt, and sugar in processor and pulse to mix.
Add the butter and pulse until coarse crumbs form.
Add the egg. Pulse a few times. If needed, add water and pulse a few more times.
When you can form a ball in your fingers that easily stays together, it is ready.
Make a ball, put it in a bag or plastic wrap, and flatten slightly. Refrigerate two hours or overnight.
