Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 

1/4 cup sugar 

1/4 teaspoon salt 

8 ounces (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 

2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten 

2 to 4 tablespoons cold heavy cream or ice water 

Preparation

Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined, about 4 times. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With processor running, add yolks. Gradually pour in cream; process until dough begins to come together, no more than 30 seconds. Pat dough into a disk, and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
