Toasted Pecan Dough Recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup pecans 

1 cup all-purpose flour 

1 teaspoon sugar 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 

3 to 4 tablespoons ice water 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast pecans on a rimmed baking sheet in oven, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely. Coarsely grind pecans in a food processor. Add flour, sugar, and salt; process until combined.

Add butter; process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With processor running, add the ice water in a slow, steady stream just until the dough comes together.

Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap. Shape into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 1 day before using.
