　　2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

　　2 tbsp cornstarch

　　1/2 tsp salt

Step 3

Whisk together flour, cornstarch, salt, and sesame seeds. Add flour mixture to butter mixture, 1 cup at a time, beating after each addition until incorporated. Transfer mixture to a surface and knead into a smooth dough. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
