You can Google "Pate Brisee Recipe) and get dozens of hits. The one I use is as follows (for an 11" tart shell):
2 1/2 cups APF
3/4 tsp salt
5 oz cold, unsalted butter cut into 1/4" pieces
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup ice water
Combine flour and salt in KA with paddle attachment or food processor.
Add butter and mix till the mixture resmbles fine bread crumbs. (No pea sized pieces of butter here.)
Add the egg and water and mix just until large lumps begin to form.
Turn the mixture out on to a lightly floured board and gather it together.
Wrap in plastic and refrigerate an hour.
Good luck
