Steps

  1. With an electric stand mixer or hand-held mixer, mix flour, butter, and sugar until the mixture has the consistency of small peas.
  2. With the machine on low speed, add eggs and yolk, and mix just until well-incorporated, about 25 seconds.
  3. Wrap dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes before rolling out.
