Buttercrust Pastry Dough
This pastry dough recipe is tender and flaky. A food processor helps you achieve a gorgeous bread crumb texture when adding the ice water. If you use the dough for a savory recipe, cut down the sugar a bit but do not omit it entirely. The most important thing to remember is to use frozen butter and ice-cold water.
