Recipe - Flaky Sweet Pastry (Pate Sucree)

1 One fourth cup Allpurpose flour
7 tablespoon Unsalted butter; chilled cut
into pieces
2 teaspoon Sugar
1/8 teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoon Ice water

Place 1 cup of the flour, the butter, sugar and salt, into a food processor
fitted with the metal blade. Process 10 seconds, until the mixture
resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water and pulse 10 to 15 times, just
until the mixture begins to come together (do not let it form a ball).
Empty the dough out of the machine onto a floured work surface and gather
together by pressing lightly. If the dough seems too sticky, gently
incorporate more flour. Shape into a ball, then flatten into a disk. Wrap
in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before proceeding with
recipe. Yield: 1 10 to 12 inch tart or four individual tartlets Copyright,
