About

If you find yourself with oozingly sweet, overripe fruit on your countertop, make something with this dough. The earthy, whole-wheat flour will balance the sweetness of the fruit. If you want to experiment with different flours, try a little rye, buckwheat, or oat flour for all or a portion of the whole-wheat flour.

Method

To mix with a food processor, pulse the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar once to blend. Add the butter to the work bowl and pulse about three times until pea-size pieces form. Pour the water over the flour mixture and pulse another three times until the dough is only just starting to come together.
