Ingredients
  

  • 125 grams or 1 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 125 gramsor little more than 1/2 cups unsalted butter , frozen

  • Whisk or sift the flour and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Grate in the frozen butter into the bowl .
  • Stir with a knife until all the butter is covered with flour .
  • Add the cold water and stir with a knife until a dough forms. It will look rough and shaggy.
  • On a well floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle ( around 10 inch long) . Fold the bottom third over the middle third , and then the top third over the middle third (like a letter)
  • Rotate the dough one quarter of a circle, roll it out again and refold as above.

  • Cover with cling wrap and chill for atleast one hour in the refrigerator. Use as needed!
