1 tsp pink salt
2 tbsp powdered honey
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
5 to 6 tbsp ice water

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, or a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, and powdered honey. Add your butter and pulse on and off until your mixture combines.
  2. Add 4 to 5 tablespoons ice water in between pulsing and continue until just combined. Add more water if needed.
  3. If using a large bowl, to make the dough, cut in your butter until pea sized chuncks form and add water until it's all combined.
  4. The dough should hold together but not be super sticky.
  5. On a floured surface, divide your dough and pat into 2 equal disks. Roll out the first half of the dough into a 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick circle.
