Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large
work bowl of the Cuisinart
® Food Processor. Add the
flour, sugar and salt and process for 10 seconds to sift.
Add the butter and process until combined, about
30 seconds. With the machine running, add the yolks,
one at a time, and process until incorporated. Add the
water, zest (if using) and vanilla; pulse 3 to 4 times,
until combined.
Form dough into 2 flat discs. Wrap in plastic; chill in
refrigerator until ready to use. Dough should be firm
enough to roll.
To make this an almond sucrée, substitute ¹⁄³ cup of the
all-purpose flour for toasted almonds. Finely grind the
almonds by processing 45 seconds, and then add the
remaining dry ingredients. Process 10 seconds to sift
and follow instructions as stated above.
