Nut pastry dough

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
⅓ cup Walnuts; hazelnuts, almonds, or pecans
1½ cup All-purpose flour
1½ tablespoon Granulated sugar
¾ teaspoon Salt
1½ tablespoon Cold butter; cut into pieces
2½ tablespoon Walnut oil
5 tablespoons Cold water; (up to 6)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread nuts in a pie pan and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until fragrant. Let cool.

In a food processor, combine nuts, flour, sugar and salt; process until nuts are finely chopped.

Add butter and process until incorporated. Transfer to a large bowl.

Drizzle oil over flour mixture. Use your fingertips to rub oil into the mixture. One tablespoon at a time, add water and mix with a fork until dough is crumbly and holds together when pressed. Gently form dough into a flattened disk. The dough will keep, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Return dough to room temperature before rolling.
