With the mixer on medium speed, add the butter 1 tablespoon at a time, waiting for each piece to blend before adding the next.
Once you have added the last piece of the butter, increase speed to medium-high and knead until the bottom and sides of the bowl are clean and the dough is smooth.
Place the dough into a large oiled bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
