4 ounces white Cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup ice water
Preparation
Step 1
Process the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add the butter; pulse until pea-size lumps appear. Pulse in the cheese. With the processor running, add the ice water; process just until the dough comes together.
