Instructions:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup grated Manchego or Parmesan cheese
- Pinch of sugar
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 3/4 cup (1 ½ sticks) cold unsalted butter cut into pieces
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 to ½ cup ice water
- Pulse the flour, cheese, sugar, salt, and butter in a
food processor until the mixture resembles coarse
meal.
- Add the egg yolk; pulse to combine. With the
processor running, drizzle in 1/4 cup water until the
dough just comes together. (If the dough is still
crumbly, add up to 1/4 cup more water, 1 tablespoon
at a time.) Do not process for more than 20 seconds.
Wrap the dough in plastic. Refrigerate until cold,
about 30 minutes.
