butter, until the butter bits are about the size of peas.
Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time, pulsing once after each
spoonful. After six tablespoons of water, remove the work bowl lid. Using
a spoon, scoop out some of the dough mixture, squeeze in your hand. If
this does not hold together, add more ice water, pulsing after each addi-

hour before rolling out.
