Method

Prepare the dough

In a bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and work in the butter with your fingertips or with an electric mixer until the mixture is a mealy consistency.

A little at a time, add the ice water until the dough sticks together. Do not over-mix.

Shape into a ball, wrap in waxed paper, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
