5 tablespoons cold water
1-1/4 teaspoons lemon juice
1-1/4 teaspoons sugar

3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons butter
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup flour, water and lemon juice and set aside. In another large bowl, combine sugar, salt and remaining flour; cut in butter until crumbly. Gradually add flour mixture, tossing with a fork until moistened. On a piece of plastic wrap, press dough into a 4-inch circle. Cover with a second sheet of plastic wrap; roll into 12-inch circle. Freeze for ten minutes and then let stand for one minute; remove plastic wrap.
