Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (188 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for rollingÂ
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher saltÂ
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubedÂ
- 1/4 cup ice-cold water, plus more as neededÂ
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper or 1–2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh herbsÂ
DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.Â
Grate the cold butter over the mixture, or use a pastry cutter or two forks, until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs.Â
Gradually add the ice water, stirring until the dough begins to hold together. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.Â
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and bring it together with your hands. Shape into a ball, flatten into a thick disc, wrap in plastic or parchment, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.Â
