Preparation
Process the flour, salt, and herbs (if using) in a food processor until combined. Add the butter, and process just until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk together the egg mixture and the water in a small bowl. With the processor running, pour in the egg mixture; process until the dough starts to come together. Shape the dough into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
