Approximate preparation time: 5 minutes
Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large work bowl
of the Cuisinart® Food Processor. Add the flour, sugar and salt
and process for 10 seconds to sift. Add the butter and process
until combined, about 30 seconds. With the machine running,
add the yolks, one at a time, and process until incorporated.
Add the water, zest (if using) and vanilla; pulse 3 to 4 times,
until combined.
Form dough into 2 flat discs. Wrap in plastic; chill in refrigerator
until ready to use. Dough should be firm enough to roll.
Tip: To make this an almond sucrée, substitute toasted
almonds for
1
⁄3 cup of the all-purpose flour: Finely grind the
almonds by processing 45 seconds, and then add the
remaining dry ingredients. Process 10 seconds to sift and
follow instructions as stated above.
