Ingredients

　　1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

　　1/4 cup coarsely chopped chives, rosemary, or thyme (optional)

　　9 tablespoons (1 1/8 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

　　1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk, beaten

　　3 tablespoons ice water

　　Process the flour, salt, and herbs (if using) in a food processor until combined. Add the butter, and process just until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk together the egg mixture and the water in a small bowl. With the processor running, pour in the egg mixture; process until the dough starts to come together. Shape the dough into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
