Ingredients

Butter3 tbsp
Salt1/2 tsp
All-Purpose Flour2 cups
Sugar2 tbsp
Dark Chocolate1 cup, chopped
Egg Yolk1 cup, chopped

Instructions

1
Keep everything cold — the butter, the water, even the bowl — that is the whole secret of pastry.
2
Toss the butter through the flour, add just enough cold water to hold, and press into a disc.
3
Refrigerate the dough; cold dough rolls cleaner and bakes flakier.
4
Roll, fill with the all-purpose flour and butter, and crimp or fold the edges well to seal.
5
Bake until the crust is browned and the filling bubbles at the vents, 35-50 minutes, then rest twenty minutes.

Chef's tip

Salt is the missing ingredient in most home desserts — a small pinch makes chocolate and caramel taste more like themselves.
