Ingredients
makes enough for one 10-inch pie
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup grated Manchego or Parmesan cheese
Pinch of sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter cut into pieces
1 egg yolk
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
Pulse the flour, cheese, sugar, salt, and butter in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the egg yolk; pulse to combine. With the processor running, drizzle in 1/4 cup water until the dough just comes together. (If the dough is still crumbly, add up to 1/4 cup more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.) Do not process for more than 20 seconds. Wrap the dough in plastic. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
