1 egg yolk
1 or 2 tablepoons water

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the butter, cream cheese, flour and salt. Pulse to combine. Pulse until the ingredients start to come together and resembles Parmesan.If you do not have a food processor, cut together by hand.

Add the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water. Pulse a couple of more times until the ingredients start to form a ball. If the mixture is exceedingly wet, add some more flour. Or , if the mix is dry, add in a few more drops of water. When the mixture has come together into a ball, turn it out onto a floured work surface and knead it a couple of times to help it come together. Dust it with flour, form it into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to use. This can be done a day ahead.

Note: When ready to use the dough, remove it from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before rolling, to allow it to warm up and soften.
