The dough requires: 2-3 tbsp of cold water, 1 egg yolk, 3/4 tsp of salt, 90 g of chilled butter, and 150 g of flour. Combine the flour with salt and butter, quickly rub with your hands until a crumbly mixture forms. Then add the egg yolk and water. Quickly bring the dough together, trying not to overwork it.
