Description - Step 1

Prepare the Crust

Rub the cold butter into the flour, sugar, and salt until the mixture forms coarse crumbs with a few visible butter bits. Add the yolk and a splash of ice water just until the dough comes together when pinched. Flatten into a disc, wrap, and chill to help the fat firm up and prevent shrinking during baking.
