1. Insert the chopping blade into the work bowl of the
food processor. Add the fl our and salt and process on
Low for 10 seconds to sift. Add the butter and pulse
until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Pour in water 1 tablespoon at a time and pulse until
mixture just forms a dough – you may not need all of
the water. Divide dough equally into two pieces and
form each into a fl at disc; wrap in plastic and
refrigerate until ready to use.

well for up to 6 months.
