7 Tbsp

Preparing Dough

Place flour, sugar and salt into the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times to combine.
Add cold diced butter and pulse the mixture until coarse crumbs form with some pea-sized pieces then stop mixing. Mixture should remain dry and powdery.
Add 7 Tbsp ice water and pulse just until moist clumps or small balls form. Press a piece of dough between your fingertips and if the dough sticks together, you have added enough water. If not, add more water a teaspoon at a time.
Transfer dough to a clean work surface, and gather dough together into a ball (do not knead). Divide dough in half and flatten to form 2 disks. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour before using.
