3/4 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut in 1/2 inch slices |
1 egg, beaten |
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |

2. With a fork, stir the egg, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons ice water together.
3. Sprinkle the liquid over the flour mixture and mix just until the pastry holds together, adding more water if needed.
4. Knead the dough in the bowl for 2 or 3 strokes, just until the dough makes a smooth ball.
