Ingredients
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup cold butter, cut into cubes
6 tablespoons ice water
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
Directions
Whisk all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl. Cut butter into 1/2-inch cubes and toss with flour mixture to break up the pieces. Using your fingertips, smash each cube flat—that's it! No rubbing or cutting. Stir in water, then knead dough against the sides of the bowl until it comes together in a shaggy ball. Dough temperature should register between 65 and 70 degrees F ; if not, refrigerate briefly before rolling and folding .
