Dust with flour and remove any excess flour. Set tins aside.
In a food processor, whirl together flour and salt.
Add butter, pulsing until the mixture resembles coarse meal
Add water 1 teaspoon at a time, process just until dough clumps together and begins to form a ball.
It is best to make this pastry in advance to allow it to rest.
Keep in a plastic wrap in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes
Wait until the pastry is at room temperature before rolling out.
