In a medium bowl stir together the 2 cups flour and the 1/3 cup sugar. Using a pastry blender, cut butter into flour mixture until the pieces are pea-size.

In a small bowl stir together the egg yolks, sour cream, and ice water. Gradually stir egg yolk mixture into the flour mixture.

Using your fingers, gently knead the dough just until a ball forms. Cover the dough with a plastic wrap; chill for one hour or until the dough is easy to handle.
