OK, I actually made this recently and it was deliciously awesome!!!
You need a dry, stiff dough not a soft one, so for every 2 cups of flour only add 1/2 c. water, and let it rest so the water can be absorbed.
One stick of butter (1/2 c.) for 2 cups of flour IS SUFFICIENT!!! My mother in law likes to use 1 full cup, but really you get a flaky delicious crust even with half the fat. Our people have enough problems with heart disease and diabetes! Enjoy your pate with a little less stress.
And if you're using salted butter/margarine, you can use 1/2 tsp. salt.
2 cups all-pupose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup butter/margarine/shortening
