DOUGH

for the

CHEESECAKE

Always make the pastry dough hours before using it, preferably the day before. It will be much easier to work with. This dough can be put in the freezer, just be sure to wrap it carefully.

INGREDIENTS:

2 1/3 cups Cake Flour

1/3 cup Sugar

2 sticks Unsalted Butter, chilled, cut into small pieces

2 Egg Yolks

1 to 2 tablespoons Heavy Cream

Making the Pastry:

1. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, combine the flour and sugar. Add the butter and process until the texture resembles fine meal.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the yolks and 1 tablespoon of the cream. Scrape into the machine and process until a ball begins to form, using additional tablespoon of cream, if necessary. Remove the dough from the machine, and on a lightly floured surface, press down into a circle. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Longer is better.

3. Use as needed.
