  • 2 tbsp água fria (about 40-80mL)

Instructions 

  • Combine flour, sugar, salt, and butter in a bowl.
  • Fry the butter with fingertips until crumbly, like wet sand. Use a processor if desired.

  • Roll out on a floured surface to max 0.5cm thickness and line your baking dish.
  • Freeze or chill before baking. Can be frozen if not used immediately.
