3tablespoonsSugar
½pounds(2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
4tablespoonsIce water
2largesEgg yolks

Directions

1. Place flour and sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds (if you don't have a food processor, cut in butter with a pastry cutter).

In a small bowl, beat together ice water and egg yolks. With the food processor running, add liquid to flour mixture drop by drop, until dough just holds together without being wet or sticky. (You may not need all the liquid. Do not overprocess.) 2. Turn dough out onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Flatten dough into a circle and wrap. Chill for at least an hour, or until ready to serve.
