First, I mill my wheat berries on the finest setting. I do let this cool off slightly before adding to the recipe, just while I am gathering the other ingredients. When I am in a hurry, I will pop the bowl of flour in the freezer for just a bit to cool it off. As long as your butter and water is cold, I have found this recipe to work just fine with the flour not being completely cooled.
Next, I grate my butter with a cheese grater. If you have the grater attachment for your food processor, I like to use it since I am going to add everything to it anyways.
In the food processor fitted with the chopper blade now, add your flour and salt, mix to combined.
This should look like breadcrumbs at this point.
Crack eggs into mixture and pulse 5 seconds
Add ice water and process for 20-30 seconds or until the mixture begins to ball up.
Pour your dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Split in half and wrap each half. Place in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
