Put the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse

cut the butter into the flour mixture with two knives or a pastry cutter.)
Add the ice water through the feeder tube with the motor running and
briefly process until a ball is formed. Wrap the dough in wax paper and
refrigerate for 1/2 hour. Faith makes ice water by adding a few cubes to a
glass of water before sh starts making the dough. Roll out the dough on a
lightly floured surface and line a 10″ fluted tarte pan -=97 the kind with
the bottom that comes out. Prick the bottom of the dough-lined pan with a
fork. Combine 2 tbsps. of flour with 2 tbsps. of sugar and dust the bottom.
