Preparation

1. If food processor is used, combine the flour, egg yolk, sugar and salt in container. Cut butter into fine pieces and add. Process, adding just enough water to make pastry hold together.
2. If food processor is not used, place flour, sugar and salt in mixing bowl. Cut butter into fine pieces and add. Using pastry blender or fingers, work in butter until mixture has texture of coarse cornmeal. Work in egg yolk. Add only enough water so dough can be gathered together and shaped into ball.Wrap in wax paper and chill for 30 minutes or longer.
3. Roll dough out on floured board, turning as necessary and using a little more flour as necessary to prevent sticking.
