Butter Pastry Dough

Directions

  1. In a large bowl whisk together flour and salt and with a pastry blender or finger tips blend in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  2. Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork to incorporate, until mixture begins to form a dough.
  3. Knead the dough lightly to slightly develop gluten.
  4. Form dough into a ball and flatten to form a disk.
  5. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill 1 hour.
