Directions

  1. Blend flour and salt in processor 5 seconds.
  2. Add butter to processor. Using on/off turns, blend until coarse meal forms.
  3. Add 4 tablespoons ice water. Blend until dough just begins to come together, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dry. Gather dough; flatten into disk. Wrap; chill at least 1 hour.
  4. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 14-inch round.
  5. Transfer dough to 11-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom.
