Place butter in work bowl and pulse until the mixture
resembles coarse meal with the butter visible only in
tiny pea-sized bits. With the machine running, pour in
water through feed tube. If mixture feels dry and does
not come together when you press it together in your
hand, add more ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until
mixture comes together. Carefully process only until a
dough ball forms. Do not overprocess!!
Remove dough from bowl, divide in half, form each half
into a disc and wrap in plastic to rest at least a half-
hour before rolling.
