Ingredients

2 large egg yolks 

1/4 cup ice water 

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 

3 tablespoons sugar 

Salt 

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

Preparation

Lightly beat yolks and water in a small bowl until combined.

Pulse flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 20 seconds. With the machine running, add yolk mixture in a slow, steady stream. Process until mixture just begins to hold together (no longer than 30 seconds).

Shape dough into 2 disks, and wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes to overnight.
