Sweet Pastry Dough

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt and butter. Using a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a handheld electric mixer, beat on medium speed until the butter is well coated with the flour and is broken into small pieces. Add the egg and egg yolks and beat together until the mixture comes together in a smooth dough.

Remove from the bowl, gather into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or for up to 1 week before use.
