Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 200 grams unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 120 milliliters ice water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar together.

Step 2

Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, mix the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs with some larger pieces of butter still visible.

Step 4

Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently to bring it together. Shape it into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 8

Roll the pastry into a tight roll from one end to the other.

Step 9

Cut the roll into 1-inch slices and place them, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
