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 on the dough speed
setting, 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.
