Pastry: Place flour in medium bowl. Make well in center of flour and add butter, 1 egg yolk, sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons of the water to the well. With fingertips, mix only these "well" ingredients together, then begin to work in the surrounding flour, adding ice water as needed. Once combined, knead several times and place pastry on a plate.
