  • Gradually add ice water, stirring with a fork until the dough begins to come together. You may not need all the water, so add it slowly.

  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape into a rectangle. Roll out the dough, then fold it into thirds like a letter. Turn the dough 90 degrees and repeat the rolling and folding process 5 more times.

  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using. This allows the gluten to relax and the butter to chill, which is essential for flaky layers.
