Author: Shawn

Ingredients

  • 227 g 1 2/3 cup all purpose flour
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • 1 cup 2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 70 g scant 1/3 cup ice water

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, swish together salt and flour.
  • Add butter and rub into flour until you're left with chunks of butter about the size of a dime.
  • Add water and knead until the dough just holds together.
  • Turn out onto a work surface, shape into a rough rectangle, and cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes.
  • Roll out into a long rectangle, fold up the bottom third, fold down the top third (as if you're folding a letter), and turn 90°. Repeat this rolling and folding 3 more times.
  • Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 20 minutes before using.
