Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons butter, cold, cut into small cubes
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse sand.

  3. 3

    Add water 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until a shaggy dough just comes together.

  4. 4

    Roll dough between two sheets of parchment paper until very thin, about 1/16 inch.

  5. 5

    Transfer to baking sheet. Prick all over with a fork to prevent puffing.

  6. 6

    Bake 12–15 minutes until edges are golden brown and surface looks dry.

  7. 7

    Remove from oven. Cool on the sheet 5 minutes, then break into irregular shards.
