Ingredients: 2
cups
all purpose flour 1/3
cup
sugar 1/2
teaspoon
salt 1/2
stick
cold unsalted butter,
cut into bits
6
large
egg yolks
Directions:
In a bowl with a pastry blender or in a food processor blend or pulse
together flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and blend or pulse until
mixture resembles coarse meal. Add yolks and, if blending by hand,
stir until mixture forms a dough. If using a food processor pulse
until mixture forms large clumps and with hands form mixture into a
dough.
On a work surface smear dough in 3 or 4 forward motions with heel of
hand to slightly develop gluten in flour and make dough easier to work
with. Form dough into a ball and flatten to form a disk. Chill dough,
wrapped in plastic wrap, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
Yield: Enough dough for an 11 to 12-inch tart
