Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted
Instructions
- Pulse together flour, confectioners sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter and process until mixture resembles fine meal. Add 3 yolks (reserving the fourth for egg wash) and process until it forms a smooth dough, 2 to 3 minutes. (Don't worry about overworking dough.) Transfer dough to a work surface and gather into a ball, then divide into 3 equal pieces. Form one third of dough into a small disk, then form remaining dough into a larger disk. Chill disks, each wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
