Pate Brisee

Author Carolyn Friedemann

Ingredients

  • cup All-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Sweet butter Cold and cut into thin slices or shavings
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ¾ cup ice cold water

Instructions

  • Mix flour, butter and salt together very lightly so butter remains visible
  • Add water and mix very fast by hand just so dough coheres
  • Cut dough in half
  • Refrigerate 1--2 hours, or use right away (If you use right away, the butter will be soft and may need extra flour in the rolling process)
