Put flour and butter in a medium bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, blend until mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well in center of flour mixture; pour in egg mixture. Gently combine with a rubber spatula until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and no longer sticky, 4 to 5 minutes; if necessary, add more flour. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rest 30 minutes.
