Step 1

Divide the butter in half.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, rub half the butter into the flour until you have small pieces of butter the size of peas.

Step 3

Using your palm, press the other half of the butter pieces into flat flakes, and add them to the bowl.

Step 4

Add the water, gently mixing until you have a mostly cohesive dough.

Step 5

Form into a flat round, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.

Step 6

Take out the chilled dough and set it on a lightly floured surface.

Step 7

Sprinkle a little extra flour on top and roll it out into a long rectangle.

Step 8

Fold the dough into thirds, then rotate, roll out into another long rectangle, and fold into thirds again; this will make your dough flaky and light.

Step 9

Roll out one last time to a smaller rectangle, cut into two equal pieces, wrap in plastic, and chill until ready to use.

Step 10

COOK'S NOTE: When making this dough for the Bloodberry Tart, add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and replace 3/4 cup of the flour with almond meal.
