Lemon Pastry

In a bowl , stir flour and salt together.

Cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

With a fork , stir the egg , lemon juice , and 2 tablespoons ice water together.

Sprinkle the liquid over the flour mixture and mix just until the pastry holds together , adding more water if needed.

Knead the dough in the bowl for 2 or 3 strokes , just until the dough makes a smooth ball.

Cover and chill for 30 minutes or until firm.

Then ready to roll out.
