Short Paest for Tartes

1 1/2 cups flour

4 Tbsp. butter

2 egg yolks

1/2 tsp. salt

pinch saffron

about 3/8 cup water

Mix flour, salt, and saffron together in a large bowl. Cut or rub the butter and eggs into the flour mixture until it forms fine crumbs. Add water a little at a time until it just sticks together – too much water will make the dough too soft and sticky. Cover with a towel and allow to rest for 30 minutes. Roll out on a well floured surface.
