Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Harry Potter Treacle Tart
  1. Combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut in cold, cubed unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Gradually add cold water and mix just until the dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
