Ingredients

1. Step 1In food processor, pulse pecans, sugar, and salt until finely ground. Add flour and pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (slightly smaller than peas). Continue to pulse, adding 3 tablespoons ice water, until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed. Pulse in more ice water 1 teaspoon at a time if necessary; do not overmix.
2. Step 2Transfer dough to piece of plastic wrap and shape into 1/2-inch-thick disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour, up to 2 days.
