  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup unsalted butter cold, diced
  • 1/2 cup cold water adjust as needed

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt.

  • Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough comes together.
  • Form the dough into a rectangle, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle.
  • Fold the dough into thirds (like a letter) and roll out again.

  • Chill the dough again for about 30 minutes before using.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake your pastry until golden brown.
