The crust I always use for savory recipes:


2 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup grated sharp hard cheese such as cheddar or gruyere
lemon juice
1-3 Tbs. iced water


Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using 2 knives or a pastry
cutter. Add the cheese. Sprinkle in the juice and/or water until it
starts to come together into a ball. Refrigerate until time to roll out.
