Add to the butter/egg yolk mixture and mix just until incorporated and the dough starts to come together. | 5. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and form into 2 balls. | 6. Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and freeze at least 2 hours or overnight, or for as long as a month. | 7. Preheat the oven to 350F. | 8. Remove 1 ball of dough from the freezer and coarsely grate the frozen dough into the bottom of a 9 by 13 inch baking pan or a 10 inch tart pan with a removable bottom. | 9.
