together the lumps should mass--if too dry, pulse in droplets more
water. Do not over-mix: the dough should not mass on the blade--it
should hold together when pressed. The final blending: Turn the dough
out onto your work surface and with the heel, not the warm palm, of
your hand, rapidly and roughly smear the dough by 3-spoonfuls bits 6
to 8 inches out on your work surface. This accomplishes the final
blending of fat and flour. If the pastry seems stiff, sprinkle more
droplets of ice water as you smear--but do not overdo! Press the dough
rapidly into a rough cake wrap in a sheet of plastic, place in a
plastic bag, and chill. Chilling. The dough should be chilled for at
least an hour, preferably 2 hours, before using. This allows the flour
particles to absorb the liquid, and will make for a more tender dough;
it also allows the butter to congeal, for easy rolling. Ahead-of-time
note: The pastry will keep under refrigeration for a day or two. For
longer storage, use the freezer, where it will keep perfectly for
months, waiting to serve you. Copyright 1993 by Julia Child Converted
