The amount of water you need to add to the flour can vary from 4 to 6 tablespoons—on damp or humid days, less water is needed. Directions Place flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor, and process for a few seconds to combine. Add butter, and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With the machine running, add 5 tablespoons ice water in a slow, steady stream through the feed tube just until the dough holds together, 30 seconds. Divide dough in half, and wrap each half in plastic wrap.
