Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold, unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

1. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse several times to mix.

2. Add the butter and pulse repeatedly until the butter is finely mixed into the dry ingredients – you do not want any visible pieces of butter.

3. Add the egg, egg yolk, and water. Pulse repeatedly until the dough forms a ball.

4. Invert the food processor bowl over a floured work surface to turn out the dough. Carefully, remove the blade and transfer any dough on it to the work surface. Form the dough into a disk about ½ inch (1 cm) thick. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate it
