3.I mix flour and salt during a bowl and put it within the freezer too. supercooling everything is vital to creating this buttery crust.
4.In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Chop the butter during a pastry blender until the mixture resembles large crumbs. Stir in water, one tablespoon, until the dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and chill for 4 hours or overnight.
5.I never wait 4 hours for it to chill down, 2 hours is that the longest cooling time I even have ever given a dough before using it an equivalent day. for subsequent day or two.
