1/8tsp salt
55g caster sugar
115g butter - cold
1 egg yolk
1-2tbsp ice cold water

1. Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl.


2. Cut the butter into small chunks and add to the flour mixture.


3. Using a dough blade, blend the butter into the flour mixture until it has the consistency of a damp sand with a few pea sized pieces remaining.
   


4. Using a fork, beat the egg yolk with the cold water.


5. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the flour, stirring until mixture become moistened. The dough should stick together and able to hold the form of a ball.


6. Cover the ball with plastic wrap.


7. Smooth the ball of dough with a rolling pin to form a flat disc, chill in the fridge for minimum of 1/2 an hour. Pre heat the oven 180c.
