Pâte Brisée
- Mix flour, butter and salt together very lightly, so butter remains visible.
- Add water and mix very fast with hand, just so dough coheres.
- (Cut dough in half if you made full recipe)
- Refrigerate 1-2 hours, or use right away (if you use it right away the butter will be soft and may need extra flour in the rolling process).
